Bike Marking Events continue in the area ( as advertised on our Facebook and X social media pages) and WIDE crime prevention advice leaflets have been distributed in the local area when a Bike theft or Burglary has occurred. This will continue, especially during the Winter months , when it is dark for longer.

This ranges from dealing with referrals for safeguarding, from ACTION FRAUD ref: online Fraud scammer and also Telephone Scammers to Mental Health and Elderly Members of the Public , particularly those with Dementia, that need Police assistance.

The Team has Liaison with local GP’s, social care and works with family members to protect those that are the most vulnerable within our Community. Keeping data up to date on those vulnerable living within the area, can assist if concern is raised for these individuals, i.e. they have not been seen for some time, or their mental health is showing signs of decline.
