Neighbourhood priorities
Northumbria Police aims to meet our commitment to you.
The following Neighbourhood priorities relate to your area:
1. May 2013: House Burglaries
“What you told us”
There have been eight house burglaries this year which is comparable to the same period last year.
“What are we doing about it ?”
-
The last financial year saw your local police teams achieve excellent results in terms of burglary reduction. Burglary fell by over 28% which is 27 fewer victims of burglary.
-
Your local police team will not be complacent. We have launched Operation Captain to focus on the offenders and actively target people selling on stolen property from the burglaries.
-
Officers will carry out high visibility patrols within hot-spot areas to prevent and deter offences and engage with the public.
-
Neighbourhood officers will also patrol in plain clothes and positively target those suspected to be responsible for these crimes.
-
Neighbourhood officers will provide crime prevention advice to reduce the chances of becoming a victim of crime.
“Keeping you informed”
The neighbourhood policing team will keep the community updated through Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meetings. For more information on the meetings contact the team on 101 ext 69191.
2. May 2013: Theft from Motor Vehicles
“What you told us”
-
There has been a slight increase in the number of vehicles being broken into compared with the same period last year.
“What are we doing about it ?”
-
Operation Balloon has been launched by your local police team. Officers are undertaking plain clothes patrols, particularly overnight when most offences have been committed.
-
Neighbourhood officers are patrolling identified hot-spot areas and enquiries are underway to identify and target offenders.
-
Signs have been displayed in hot-spot areas as part of the "If it's on show it could go" campaign.
-
Members of the public who are identified by neighbourhood officers as having left valuable items on display in unattended vehicles are receiving follow up crime prevention visits.
“Keeping you informed”
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will keep the community updated through Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meetings. For more information on the meetings contact the team on 101 ext 69191.
3. May 2013: Anti-social behaviour in Ryhope
“What you told us”
-
You are concerned about anti-social behaviour being caused by young people in Ryhope. This is reflected in complaints from residents and also in the number of calls received by the police.
“What are we doing about it ?”
-
We are working with the public, partners and local councillors to address these issues.
-
Operation Index is currently tackling anti-social behaviour within Ryhope, with Neighbourhood Officers undertaking daily high visibility patrols throughout the community.
-
Victims are receiving regular reassurance visits and a number of youths have already been identified and arrested for a variety of offences.
-
Additional police and council resources will continue to be deployed to the area throughout May.
