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.

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.
