May 2015 Pocklington Parish Town News Release

Pocklington Provincial Update for May 2015.

1. Priority

Issue: Pocklington Town Centre area (Evenings):

Throughout May, we are to continue our High Visibility patrols of the Pocklington Town Centre area to deter potential anti-social behaviour. These patrols include regular checks on peripheral areas at Pocklington Infants’ School, Maxwell Road (periodic reports of criminal damage and youths causing annoyance), Broadmanor Play Park (periodic reports of anti-social behaviour on an evening), Waterloo Lane (reports of low level anti-social behaviour and criminal damage), All Saints Church yard (reports of periodic anti-social behaviour), and Union Street (reports of criminal damage). In addition, recent complaints of youths causing annoyance with vehicles on the Station Road car park will result in this location being targeted and consideration made of offences under Section 59 of the Police Act, which can result in vehicles being used to cause harassment, alarm or distress being seized. Criminal offenders will be challenged robustly, arrested or reported for summons. Penalty Notices for Disorder or warning letters may be used in appropriate cases however, those who offend should expect to be arrested and dealt with if their anti social behaviour amounts to criminal offending.  The exercise of discretion should not be expected.

2 Priority

 Issue: Youths causing damage / annoyance with Vehicles, Stamford Bridge (Evenings):

Following reports of anti-social behaviour by groups of youths congregating with vehicles in the vicinity of the Viking Road car park on an evening, Patrols will be regularly checking this location during May.  Consideration will be given to the issue of £90 Penalty Notices for Disorder and arrest where appropriate, in addition to lower level offenders being dealt with under the FAIRWAY process jointly with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It is unlikely that any discretion will be shown.  Drivers using their cars to cause alarm or distress will be considered for warnings and possible seizure of their vehicles under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act. 

3. Priority

Issue: Youths Causing Annoyance, area of Sherbuttgate, Pocklington (Evenings):

Officers will continue to patrol the area regularly throughout May.

4. Meetings

Police “Drop In surgery” at Lob Lane Sheltered Housing Coffee Morning, Stamford Bridge:

PCSO Gareth Ludlow has arranged a Drop In Surgery from 09:30 -11:00 at the above location to discuss community issues and offer crime prevention advice on the 1st May 2015.

PCSO Gareth Ludlow will be patrolling around Sutton on Derwent from 8:30am to 9:30am on the 12th May

HUMBERSIDE POLICE – WE’RE CHANGING

On the 15th April Humberside Police went live with its new one-force operating model.  Below is a copy of an article that can be found on the new website: www.humberside.police.uk

HUMBERSIDE POLICE – WE’RE CHANGING

This is the culmination of more than a year’s careful planning to ensure the continued delivery of 21st Century

Policing in the age of austerity.

Administrative barriers have been removed; shift patterns have been developed, enhanced use of technology has been rolled out, pointless bureaucracy has been scrapped and better use of social media has been embraced.We will have the right number of resources in the right place at the right time to tackle crime, antisocial behaviour and community tensions and we will be using appointments on low level issues to make sure you can see us at times convenient to you.

The organisation will become smaller over time, but these changes mean we are leaner, more efficient and better able to police the area at peak times.Chief Constable Justine Curran said the force was raring to go.

She said: “Teams have been live-time testing this new model meticulously to ensure our plans stand-up to the rigours of day-to-day policing and they do. The public will still have the community officers and PCSOs they know and trust in their areas and they’ll also now have local community detectives– a real step forward.”

“At peak times we’ll be able to put more of our response officers out on the streets to deal with the big issues and we’ve planned carefully to make sure than no geographical area or rural community misses out on coverage.”

“We’ll also be more user friendly to you. We’ve launched a fantastic new website that tells you where we are and links you into your community officers and their Facebook and Twitter accounts. We’re more accessible than ever before so please take advantage of that. Talk to your local teams and get the most out of our service”.

“These are exciting times for us. Our staff have gone the extra mile to make this happen and I would like to thank them for their efforts. There will inevitably be some teething problems in the coming months but as one team, we will resolve them and ensure we continue to protect communities, target criminals and make a real difference.”

SHED SECURITY

We are urging you to spring into action over the next couple of months to make sure your sheds, garages and gardens are secure as the nights get lighter.Lighter nights often means criminals on the prowl for easy pickings from gardens, sheds and garages. As the weather warms up, we all spend more time outside, but we all also get a bit lax about leaving our property around and locking our sheds and garages when we use them.Opportunist criminals are on the lookout for bikes, tools, sports gear and fishing tackle in sheds and garages, as well as in gardens.To stop them getting hold of your stuff we would urge you to look at your sheds, garages and outbuildings and assess how secure they are. Do you need a better lock, an alarm, lighting, or even CCTC.  If something is really valuable - it might be better off in your house.

Think about the following tips:
  • Make sure your shed or garage is secured with a good quality lock.
  • Keep back gates locked when not used. 
  • Are fences surrounding your garden easy to climb over? This could be all the deterrent required to stop a thief from getting into your garden. 
  • Security lights can be a great deterrent if your home or garden is secluded from street lighting etc 
  • Loop a strong chain through the handles of your garden tools and connect the ends with a strong padlock. If possible, fix a large metal eyelet to part of the shed frame and loop the chain through it.
  • Install lights which come on when it gets dark and switch off when it gets light, or fit motion sensor lights which activate when someone passes.
  • Many shed windows are never used, if this is the case – why not screw them shut. Fitting mesh or steel bars across the window from the inside allows light to enter but means the thief has to go to a lot of trouble to remove them. Replace broken glass with laminated glass.
  • If you have a household alarm consider extending it to cover your outbuildings or fit a bespoke shed/garage alarm.
  • Consider what you store inside your shed or garage as valuable items should ideally be stored in your home. 
  • Check your home contents policy to see if you are covered in the event of a break-in.
  • If you have an expensive bicycle or motorbike, make sure you have a good quality lock securing it when it is not being used. Spending thousands on an item and pence on a lock makes for an easy getaway. 
  • Record a description of your cycles and any other valuable property on www.immobilise.com
