Awaiting Photo

I will be writing to you on a regular basis, giving updates on what my officers are doing in your area. I would ask that if you have any issues you would like to discuss, please call me on 0845 456 456 4.

I strongly believe that e-cops is an effective tool to keep you updated on what we are doing, provide advice, and to assist in reducing crime.

I am attempting to increase the number of subscribers in your area, and am asking for your assistance with this. Can you speak to your neighbours, friends, colleagues, and make them aware of the scheme. The more subscribers there are, the more effective crime prevention tool it will be.

Thanks
Inspector Matt Snow

Just a few lines to start with to introduce myself. I am PC 1618 Ben Duce based at Bridge Street Police Station.

I have been in the role as Community Beat Manager since May 2006, a role that I am thoroughly enjoying. I am very pro active and enjoy both mixing with the local community and of course dealing with the crimes and subsequently the offenders.
I cannot however do this on my own, I need the local community to talk to me and give me directions. In many cases I know who the suspects are but without the local people telling me who have committed the offences it is hard to actually get a charge and a subsequent conviction.

Tina Griffin is the local PCSO who works along side me, she is very approachable, enthusiastic and wants the same as all of us, a pleasant community in which to live in.
Both of us frequently check the e-cops database; don't hesitate to leave a message.

I am out and about on a regular basis, on foot, on my bike or in a vehicle, I do however spend a lot of time in the custody suite dealing with suspects.

I know we have an Anti social behaviour issue albeit I don't feel that it is as bad as it was a year ago. I also know that we have a problem with youths screaming around the area on motor bikes. I need evidence. You give me the evidence and support and I will do the rest.
