Darley Safer Neighbourhood Team
Beat report for October 2012

With Halloween and the bonfire celebrations October has been another busy month for the team. We have worked closely with the local shops in advising staff about selling flour and eggs to persons under the age of 16 and promoting the safe and legal use of fireworks.

During the peak evenings officers have worked late shifts to assist with any anti social behaviour issues and have been successful in seizing over 30 bottles of alcohol from underage drinkers in the area. We continue to work with the anti social behaviour team in submitting referrals for anyone found causing ASB and issuing Acceptable Behaviour Contracts to the persistent offenders.

We are also about to say goodbye to PCSO Matt Clark who is leaving the team to commence his training to become a fully-fledged Police Officer. PCSO Clark has been a huge asset and will be greatly missed by the team.

Crime prevention
We have recently had an attempt theft of a Land Rover in the Darley Abbey area, offenders have started to tow the vehicle away only to cut the tow rope allowing the vehicle to crash into our police vehicle and make good there escape. Please be vigilant of any suspicious people particularly in the hours of darkness, report any incidents on the police none emergency number 101.

We are still seeing a large number of bike thefts in the area, if you are storing a bike in a shed or outhouse please still ensure the bike is locked with a suitable lock to a sturdy fixing. Also please make a note of your bike's chassis or frame number; this can help us trace it if it is stolen.

As the nights are drawing in remember to ensure all doors and windows are locked and secure of an evening, keep vehicles locked and valuables out of site. Personal items such as phones, bikes, Sat Navs and computers can be registered at www.immobilise.com. This will enable police to trace owners of lost or stolen property more effectively and help combat the sale of stolen goods. It is also worth making note of any serial numbers, makes and models of your electrical items.

The team will be looking at holding a further bike engraving session in the near future, any cyclists are urged to attend and have bike security engraved which can also aid in having your stolen or lost property returned. Feel free to bring along any garden tools such as spades, wheelbarrows or lawn mowers that can be engraved. Keep checking the force website and local press for further details.

University parking

With the start of the new university term upon us the team have been working tirelessly to ensure students are aware of the parking restrictions around the campus and ticketing any offending vehicles. This is a continuing problem with no easy solution, we are re-assessing the use of resident passes in some areas and welcome any suggestions from local residents on the best practice to tackle this issue.
