Truro Rangers

The Truro Ranger’s provided by Axien Security have been a welcome addition to Truro, providing a valuable security presence and a deterrent to crime and anti-social behaviour.  They have, by now, become familiar faces to businesses, residents and regular visitors to the city centre. As anti-social behaviour and low level crime are closely linked, the CSAS accreditation will provide the rangers with some useful tools to continue their great work in resolving issues at street level, before they escalate - reducing demand on local policing, and in identifying those involved in ASB – to allow for progression through ASB processes or, should it meet the criminal threshold, prosecution.

July Updates

A positive arrest was made for a male who was causing issues within the city for numerous offences, including assaults of NHS staff, non-fatal strangulation, criminal damage, sending communication threatening death, and persistent misuse of the public communications network.

Another male was charged with drink driving and is being dealt with via the judicial system. 

Positive active patrols have been conducted within the outlying villages including Truro College.

Some great work has been conducted by officers involved in HOT SPOT Patrols within the city. This shall be running until March 2025.

Important Message from Trading Standards

Cornwall Trading standards have seen a large increase in rogue trading activity across the county, particularly rogue roofers. Many are now using online directory services or social media and have moved away from ‘traditional’ cold-calling. New tactics include claiming to be local a company, even giving an addresses that is local, but the address used is often fake, not actually the traders’ address or is being used without the permission of the owner’s consent.

Once contacted, the roofer will attend and give a very reasonable quote, but when work has started the price rapidly inflates. Often,  the work is of poor quality or unfinished, and the customer is left struggling to trace the trader.

Common to many of the incidences are that no paperwork is given, and any promises of guaranteed work go unhonoured.

Trading standards advice is to use caution when contacting online platforms. Make sure the company gives you a written quote outlining in some detail what work is needed, how much materials cost, the time frame of work and when it will be completed. When signing up to work at home or over the phone, traders are obliged to give a notice of the right to cancellation within 14 days of entering a contract*.

*In 2013, the government introduced the right to cancel most contracts made in the home with the intention of tackling the issue of customers signing up to contracts hastily and whilst under pressure.

Cornwall council have a Buy with confidence scheme, this is a list of traders who have signed up to the scheme and each have been thoroughly vetted by the councils buy with confidence scheme. This can be found on the council website just search for buy with confidence.

Update: 17 July 2024 - Ongoing Concern

This is still an ongoing concern for residents, especially members of the vulnerable communities. So please check in with them so they know when to spot a scam. 

Truro welcomes new Police Community Support Officer

Truro Neighbourhood Team would like to welcome Chris who is a new addition to our neighbourhood family.

Chris has joined as a Police Community Support Officer and will be working alongside the team to tackle all issues including Anti Social Behaviour within the city centre.

Chris comes from a retail background and has a great understanding of what the retailers in the City have to tackle on a daily basis. So he brings a lot of knowledge into the role. 

We are very happy to be extending our team to better assist the public within Truro. 

Truro Neighbourhood Team May News & Updates

These last few weeks have been very busy for your Truro Neighbourhood team!
Here is a selection of some of the great work they have been doing!

A positive drug warrant was conducted at an address in the city centre on 18/04/2024. Cannabis was found at the address and seized. Great result in getting drugs off the streets & safeguarding vulnerable adults.

Two Criminal Behaviour Orders have been issued, one on Kirsty HEATHER and the other on Eloise PAYNE. This will help reduce crime and Anti-Social behaviour within the City Centre.

A community meeting took place in Portloe on 08/05/2024 regarding ongoing incidents of Anti-Social behaviour and crime. This was following concerns raised by the community.

This weekend Truro sector Neighbourhood Team will be policing Tunes in the Dunes in Perranporth. We shall be conducting high visibility patrols and assist anyone who may need us. Feel free to come and say hello if you see us.
Truro PCSO’s have also been spending time in communities, meeting residents and discussing ongoing anti-social behaviour issues in Threemilestone and Tresawls. We have been encouraging residents to report issues to the relevant agencies, whether that be the police, Cornwall Council or housing providers. Please get in touch if there are any issues ongoing in your communities too.

We have also been attending Community Speed Watch sessions within the sector to support our lovely volunteers who work hard to keep our communities safe, and are looking to attend more in the future

! PREMISES CLOSED !

On Wednesday 17th March 2024 an application was heard at Truro Magistrates Court for a premises closure order in relation to a property on Trevethenick Road, Malpas, Truro, that had become a significant source of anti-social behaviour.

The order was granted by the court which means that it is now an offence for anyone (other than a representative of the housing association owners / emergency services) to enter. The order is in place for 3 months.

The decision to close the property was not made lightly, but Truro Magistrates saw fit to close the property to all occupiers.

This result has come about through excellent community intelligence and partnership working from Truro, Perranporth and Tregony Police, neighbourhood officers, LiveWest Housing and Truro ASB Team.

The resident has been engaged with by various partners to rectify the situation and bring peace to the neighbourhood, but sadly, the individual concerned was unwilling to engage.

As always, if you are experiencing issues of anti-social behaviour where you are, please get in touch.

We as a Safer Cornwall partnership, hope this will restore peace to the area and offer other residents respite whilst encouraging the former tenant to engage with support services to address their behaviours.

Truro Safer Business Action Day

Devon & Cornwall Police join partners to tackle shoplifting

Truro neighbourhood policing team were joined by partner agencies including Cornwall Council, Safer Cornwall, Truro City Council, Young People Cornwall, Cornwall Fire and Rescue, Shop watch and Truro BID (Truro Business Improvement District), to conduct a Safer Business Action Day (SaBA) in the city centre recently.

Following joint planning between all of the partner agencies, it was decided that the key focuses of the SaBA would be shoplifting and associated anti-social behaviour. The Truro neighbourhood policing team have been working with local retailers to understand what issues are negatively impacting their businesses. Shoplifting and anti-social behaviour have been identified as two key issues within the city, and there have been increased reports of instances of both shoplifting and anti-social behaviour by local retailers. Officers have gathered intelligence from members of the public which suggests shoplifting and anti-social behaviour are concerning issues which are causing some local people to no longer enjoy spending time in the city centre. Nationally, there is an increased focus on retail crime, due to a significant growth in shoplifting, violence against retail staff, and increased organised crime. To support with tackling this, the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) have recently released a retail crime action plan, and Truro policing team have set shoplifting and anti-social behaviour as two key priorities for the team to tackle.  

During the day of action, plain-clothed officers were deployed into specific premises in the city to provide guidance and reassurance to shops that have reported frequent and ongoing shoplifting, which has been affecting the safety of their staff. Officers from the neighbourhood team carried out high visibility patrols in the city centre, visiting multiple local businesses to meet with staff, which provided them with an opportunity to raise any concerns or issues with the police, and provided an opportunity for local people to get to know their local neighbourhood policing team. In addition, CCTV from different businesses was monitored, and businesses were active on Shopwatch radios. The Shopwatch initiative supports retailers in Truro to work together with partner agencies such as Truro BID and the police to address crimes that are affecting Truro’s businesses, including anti-social behaviour.

Truro’s ASB Officer, Steve Lennon, joined the Truro Rangers to carry out their usual activities, which includes patrolling the city centre to provide reassurance to retailers and deter criminals from attempting retail crime. Truro Safe, Young People Cornwall, Trading Standards and Cornwall Fire and Rescue service attended the event and had stalls in the city centre enabling members of the public to chat to the team. Crime prevention officers were available to provide advice and guidance to members of the public.

PC Richie Wilson said: "The Safer Business Action Day was a success, and we achieved some positive results. It is hugely beneficial for the police to work alongside partner agencies to tackle local issues, and to understand a rounded view of how we can best target our resources to make Truro an even safer place to live and work. On behalf of Truro neighbourhood policing team, I would like to thank all of the retailers, partner agencies and individuals who supported the Safer Business Action Day, especially our volunteers."

Following the success of this Safer Business Action Day, Truro policing team aim to conduct another day of action later in the year.

Update: 26 November 2024 - Safer Business Day

Following the success of previous Safer Business Action Day, Truro policing team  conducted another day of action in October.

Plain-clothed officers were deployed into specific premises in the city to provide guidance and reassurance to shops that have reported frequent and ongoing shoplifting, which has been affecting the safety of their staff. Officers from the neighbourhood team carried out high visibility patrols in the city centre, visiting multiple local businesses to meet with staff, which provided them with an opportunity to raise any concerns or issues with the police, and provided an opportunity for local people to get to know their local neighbourhood policing team. In addition, CCTV from different businesses was monitored, and businesses were active on Shopwatch radios. The Shopwatch initiative supports retailers in Truro to work together with partner agencies such as Truro BID and the police to address crimes that are affecting Truro’s businesses, including anti-social behaviour.

Quishing

Qishing is coming….

The QR code scam arriving in the South West.

QR code stickers are placed over genuine codes so customers are sent to a fake website which sends payments and card information to fraudsters. 

The information can then be used to fraudulently obtain loans and make further payments.  A woman in the North East was defrauded of £13,000 in August.

Update: 17 July 2024 - stay safe online.

Be careful anywhere using a QR code payment system such as car parks, restaurants and coffee shops.

You can report online fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk where you can also learn about different types of internet frauds and how to stay safe online.

Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter

We are approaching the summer which can be one of our busiest times.  The nicer weather and increase in visitors can impact on the level of our demands.  Hopefully people will continue to see more officers ‘out and about’ on the streets; that’s one of my priorities for the policing sector.  As some may know we received additional funding for proactive patrols through the Safer Streets Funding programme.  That’s enabled us to put officers out on patrol with the aim to improve on our visibility, reduce ASB and associated crimes and in turn reassure the public so they feel safe.  We’ve another pot of additional funding coming for the summer.  Our intention is to spend that on more foot patrols in our open spaces, such as beaches, parks and gardens.  Truro is in a fairly healthy position in respect of staffing levels when considering the workforce design.  Our patrol teams are at a reasonable level and we will continue to welcome new officers into the sector, partly as a result of the general uplift.  I’d encourage people to continue to look after each other and report any concerns to the police, or other agency if another is more appropriate.  We have a new website, which is a good way to contact us, including to report concerns as well as dropping us a line of thanks!

Crimestoppers

On Wednesday 17th May Crimestoppers worked with the Truro Council and Truro Neighbourhood Police to help the communities of Trelander and Malabar feel confident to report crime and raise awareness of their charity which is the only independent, free crime fighting charity offering 100% anonymity in the UK.
