Cheshire Constabulary have created a new initiative to improve our communities and give everyone a chance to play their part. From sports in our schools to safety on our roads, the waste on our streets to the health and well-being of our neighbours. What can you do? As much as you want or feel like. It's about the little things that help make your community a more pleasant place to live.
New NPU Inspector
The new NPU Inspector for Runcorn from the 1st October 2008 will be Derek Lockie who is currently the Inspector at Risley. Can I thank you all for your support over the last two years, this has been the most challenging but most satisfying role I have had within the organisation and I am sad to be moving on but please give Derek the welcome I had on my arrival.
Operation Orange 3
This Operation has run throughout the school holidays, since the last day of school it has concentrated on high visibility patrols at schools and appears to have deterred offenders from committing crime on closed school premises.
Operation Granite 2-Nuisance motorcycles
The number of calls with regards to nuisance use of motorcycles in Runcorn is still lower than last year, 25 motorcycles have now been seized since.
Quest Appointments
Quest appointments are still high dropping from 176 to 171, there are still days when the NPU service 11 or 12 appointments.
Performance
Overall crime performance has been helped this month by the number of drugs offences detected at Creamfields but this along with and increase in some violent crime and burglary dwellings has pushed the numbers of offences reported considerably over the target figure set.
The arrest of a couple of prolific offenders recently is likely to see a reduction in the volume of crime reported.
Current Priority Areas
- Anti Social behaviour by youths in the Halton Lodge area, this is being targeted working alongside the Registered Social Landlord.
- Youth Nuisance in the Grangeway area.
- Burglary dwellings
- Violent crime
Licensing Issues
The Operational plan is in its final stages of development with the intention to roll it out during the autumn prior to Christmas.
