Current Priorities
Issue
Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) across Breckland
Action
Lots of evening patrols across hot spot areas and quick action after any ASB reports. Arrests made after incidents at a local church and at the Dereham Public toilets.
Issue
Tackling rural crime (including acquisitive crime) across Breckland
Action
A farms list has been created by the local team, between us we have been out patrolling the farms / ticking them off the list.
We have also been leaving local contact details & obtaining Farmer / Gamekeeper details from visited farms.
Hopefully this will help going forward with additional issues such as farmers blocking tracks for potential rave sites / unveiling unknown cut through tracks which rural crime offenders may look to use.
A couple of farms have shown interest in crime prevention surveys being completed, we are just awaiting confirmation from them.
