Police Station Incident Report Summary

 

At the AGM on 6th March the Petersfield station commander Sergeant Stuart Tripp confirmed that the 101 non-urgent emergency number is still operational. As always the police ask that all incidents are reported, even if not serious enough to warrant a 999 call. The more reports the more accurately they can pinpoint locations that need their attention and allocate resources accordingly.

 

A new website has just been launched by HMIC (Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary). This can be accessed at mypolice.org.uk and will provide information about crime and the performance of local police command units. The Chief Inspector Denis O’Connor in his annual address censured police forces for failing to protect the most vulnerable members of society (the very young, the very old, the handicapped and infirm) from the excesses of anti-social behaviour. He went on to say that everyone was affected by vandalism, which is under-reported. Mr O’Conor said, ‘The police database of information about anti-social behaviour is inadequate. It should be improved as a matter of urgency. An awful lot of police forces have real problems.’ People with no respect for the law or other people’s property, and who commit offences classified as ‘criminal damage’ are by definition themselves criminals, and should be regarded as such, and prosecuted through the criminal justice system.

Police Station Incident Report Summary for the period 29 April to 4 May 2010

Good News

Petersfield Police station is now opening normal hours again or so we thought we have just been informed it is to close tomorrow (Thursday)

Welcome to a new Coordinator Rachel Meliers on Bell Hill.

The youths who have been targeting Herne Farm with vandalism and antisocial behaviour since Christmas have been caught in the act by our police. They have caused residents fear and for a long time, thought they could get away with it. Only numerous reports by residents enabled police to catch them.

Good work by our Rake members enabled West Sussex police to trace a suspect van behaving suspiciously at the weekend. Well done Rake.

Many thanks to Barry Kempster for preparing the report that appears below.

The metal thieves and outbuilding burglars are still about, so lock up or fit an extra lock.

Hampshire Neighbourhood Watch Association has great pleasure in inviting our hardworking co-ordinators in the counties of Hampshire and Isle of Wight to an afternoon at: Main Hall, The Wavell School, Lynchford Road, Farnborough, GU14 6BH. 13.15- 16.00 on 8th May 2010. You will be able to meet with your colleagues, exchange tips and practices and get information during the break from Hampshire County Council and Hampshire Trading Standards. Please try and attend as a good turnout by PANWA will greatly helps our organisation.

Chichester is now full swing into the summer period with a significant rise in people visiting the area. We have also had the World Cup, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Glorious Goodwood horse racing, all of which increase the need for a visible policing presence.

With all that going on working with partners we have still managed to reduce crime by 54 offences over the same period last year, which is great news. What is even more pleasing is the fact that vehicle crime which has been a significant problem on the district has seen over 65 fewer victims. This is due to your Neighbourhood Police Team working with you and partners to both prevent crimes and also target the offenders using bait equipment. Operation Castle has been running for some time now but is really having an effect.

I have put in place a small team who are working daily to target vehicle crime offenders and so far they have been very successful, recovering over £13k worth of stolen goods and arresting seven offenders which is excellent news. Again this sends a very clear message to those who think about committing crime on Chichester District.

None of this can be done without your help and I have seen some very good examples of where a call about a suspicious vehicle or person has led to the arrest of a criminal, so every little bit of information really does help.

As District Commander I am really proud of the way we all work together to achieve positive results and keep Chichester a safe place to live, work and visit.
