#YouSaid - What matters to you
Your priorities are chosen quarterly and are based upon information gathered through NHL (Neighbourhood Link), social media, local engagement, and emerging crime trends. You have stated that the following key themes are important to you.
#YouSaidWeDid
Priority 1: ASB remains one of the beat priorities.
Priority 2: Road safety – numerous reports of overweight vehicles and speeding motorists within the villages. This is being addressed as best as we can as a small team. The issue remains one for many areas and we understand the concerns. We continue to complete speed enforcement days with the assistance of volunteers and our road safety team. The reality is that longer term solutions are key with permanent speed calming measures to be implemented. Highways should be contacted also with any concerns. We will continue to disrupt and enforce wherever we can.
Priority 3: Rural crime including burglary will always be a priority for the area of NH29 beat. We continue to work closely with our partners and ensure that local contacts throughout the villages are kept up to date. With proactive patrols and having specialist trained wildlife officers, we are able to focus on the issues whose crimes are more specific to our rural beat locations. Due to the large geographical rural area that the beat consists of, it is important that we offer crime prevention advice and keep our villages updated with current threat and crime trend patterns.
#WeDid - What we are doing
The Beat Team completed patrols at the ASB hotspot areas and identified 2 offenders whom were dealt with accordingly. In addition we have organised some school visits to engage with the youths and prevent further issues .
Multiple vehicles have been seized this month for No Tax, No insurance or driving without a correct licence. A section 59 order was also issued to a driver who was causing distress to horse riders.
Patrols around the more rural areas have been conducted especially on the late shift covering up to the Warwickshire border after reports of hare coursing have been received. A rise in reports of burglaries this month as well as theft from motor vehicles. Targeted proactive patrols have been completed in response to this particularly in the latter parts of the day and night.
