In recent months there has been a significant increase in the amount of thefts of valuable items from parked cars in the Bristol City Centre area.

We are working with businesses in the area including hotels to ensure hotel guests remember to remove all valuables when they park their vehicles overnight.

We will continue to complete foot patrols of car parks and deal robustly with any offenders.

We continue to work alongside businesses and visitors to Bristol to ensure people do not leave valuables in their cars.
 

There has been an increase in reports received of bicycles being stolen around the Old City area.

Bike Marking event to be held on Saturday 27th May 2023 between 1000 and 1100.
Please come down to meet your local Policing team and have your bike marked.

We welcome feedback from the public and want you to engage with us. We want you to let us know about the issues you have in your area,  how we can support your community and what you would like us to do in your area on a regular basis; that could be a ‘Talk to Us’ sessions were you can come along and speak to us about Policing issues or to get crime prevention advice and find out who we are and what we do or we can run policing Masterclasses where we can deliver an event to educate communities about Drugs, ASB, Fraud, Child Sexual Exploitation, Modern Day Slavery etc and provide signposting to support agencies.

We would also like to see an increase in Community SpeedWatch and Neighbourhood Watch schemes where communities take ownership for issues in there area, play a pivotal role in helping to tackle issues and get regular support from the police.

If you have any information about criminality or issues in your area, are interested in forming or becoming involved with Neighbourhood Watch or SpeedWatch or just want to speak to us, please make contact with us using the contact form at the bottom of this webpage.
