Neighbourhood priorities
Northumbria Police aims to meet our commitment to you.
The following Neighbourhood priorities relate to your area:
1. May 2012: Anti-social behaviour and disorder around Felling, Heworth and Pelaw Metro stations.
"What you told us"
Reduce incidents of anti-social behaviour at Metro stations in Felling, Heworth and Pelaw.
"What we are doing about it"
All reported incidents will be graded a 'priority' for attendance by a uniformed response officer.
Neighbourhood officers routinely patrol the Metro stations and traveling on trains to provide a visible deterrent to anyone intent on causing disorder.
Metro 'ticket inspectors' are increasing patrols in these areas.
"Keeping you informed"
Together with Nexus we are canvassing the opinions of Metro users and holding on-line meetings to capture their thoughts about this subject.
2. May 2012: Burglary and vehicle crime in the Leam Lane and Wardley areas.
"What you told us"
There has been reports of burglary and vehicle crime in the Leam Lane and Wardley areas.
"What we are doing about it"
All reported incidents will be graded a 'priority' for attendance by a uniformed response officer.
Uniformed response officers are being tasked to patrol the area when uncommitted.
Neighbourhood Officers have increased patrols in the area at key times and days.
Community Support Officers are patrolling with a view to identifying vulnerable properties and vehicles with valuables left on display.
"Keeping you informed"
A number of target offenders have been identified who will be subject to actions including daily visits which will focus on deterring and disrupting their activities.
Working with the neighbourhood acquisitive crime team and CID we will seek to maximise intelligence-led opportunities resulting in prosecution of offenders and recovery of property.
