The committee seek a group of people prepared to run some fund raising events (Jumble sale, Quiz Night, Sponsored event etc) over the next year. Also, those with practical skills (painters, electricians, plumbers) that might save us some money when the building goes up..

For info and/or to get involved contact Julie Haines 599764 [email protected] Edited extracts prepared by Editor of Radwinter Times Anti-Terrorist Measures

Prior to 2001 and the 9/11 attacks not many people had given much consideration to Terrorism. But this has now changed especially for how the public is engaged on the subject. Do you know what the Governments long term plan is? Do you know how you can help?

The Governments strategy is called CONTEST and it has 4 areas to look at: Pursue: to stop terrorist attacks Prevent: to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism Protect: to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack Prepare: to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack

One of the areas the public can make the most impact is in PREVENT. What if someone at your work, within your community or in your neighbourhood has changed their behaviour, actions, appearance? Is a local building being used for a strange purpose? Do you have a gut feeling that something about the situation is not right?

Well most calls to the Anti-Terrorist hotline start with “It’s probably nothing BUT….”

We are not asking the public to answer these questions but we are asking them to report suspicious behaviour and in doing so they may well have just filled in the missing part of a the puzzle.

Anti-Terrorist Hotline Number: 0800 789 321 Essex Police Non Emergency : 101

Any Old Iron?

Essex Police are advising members of the public to be mindful of any items that they leave out on driveways / gardens as it maybe believed that these items are no longer required. You may be clearing out the garage and left your bicycle outside or be clearing out your shed and left tools/ mowers outside, or perhaps you are carrying out home renovations and have left radiators, boilers, copper piping on the lawn. Imaging then going to find these items only to find they have been taken. These items may have been taken as unwanted scrap.

If you have items which you no longer require and they are scrap then please clearly mark these items up. If you find that items have been taken please report to Essex Police on 101. Members may recall my previous article earlier in the year headed up as ‘Rag and Bone’, but if not please read on below. Thefts are still occurring and unless clearly marked, those persons collecting should knock and seek permission from the property owner before removing items.

You may all recall or heard stories of the Rag and Bone man who would travel around on a horse and cart collecting old clothing and animal bones. You would also hear him calling out as he made his way around. As the years passed by changes occurred with the collection of various items of house hold scrap. Often this would result with the Rag and Bone man paying a small amount of cash for items given to him which was well received by the families.

Times have changed since then with many people selling their own items at car boot sales or through internet auction sites, plus we are now all familiar with the modern van-driving dealers vans driving slowly around urban and rural areas, some off them ringing a bell as they go.

We know that the reputable collectors operate a valuable service for people to get rid of their items and get them recycled in the right way, but we have also received reports that other unlicensed collectors are scavenging metal items which people still want. There has been concern from members of the public that these persons are operating without the relevant certificates and in some cases there have been reports of them accessing business and industrial sites and taking property without the owners consent.

While being mindful that the collectors provide an often invaluable service Essex Police are asking Neighbourhood Watch members to reports any thefts or those noted to be to acting suspiciously within the area.

What should you do?

Call Essex Police on 101 or 999 if a theft is occurring at the time.

What information do Essex Police need to know?

The location of where vehicle seen

The date and time seen

Description of vehicle –Index number, colour, make and model and direction of travel

Description of persons.

Nuisance Calls and Texts The Consumer’s Association (Which?) says most people are fed up with nuisance calls and texts.

CA say only two in 10 people report this menace. The good news is six in 10 said they would report offenders if they knew where to go. So CA have launched a new online complaints tool to help people to report the culprits quickly and easily. All you have to do is tell CA what type of nuisance call or text you've had. To do so Ctrl Click on the link CA will direct you to the right place to complain so the appropriate regulator can investigate further.

So far more than 75,000 people have told CA they've had enough - and the government's starting to get the message. But to show the government it must do more, we have to complain every time we're interrupted by intrusive nuisance calls and text messages.

Don't let them get away with it - start reporting offenders today. Crime and Policing News Update

Recent harrowing court cases involving children who have been sexually exploited, have highlighted that there is more we need to do to tackle these appalling crimes, and in response to this, the National Group on Sexual Violence against Children and Vulnerable People was set up. Earlier this week, the Home Office hosted a summit for this group where Policing and Criminal Justice Minister, Damian Green, spoke to partners involved in this work and outlined the work already underway to improve the response to victims and set out the programme of activity planned for the coming year. You can read more about this important work in the Sexual Violence against Children and Vulnerable People National Group Progress Report and Action Plan. The Minister also launched a support package for local areas to implement a multi-agency approach.

Another important announcement this month was the response to the Alcohol consultation, which sets out the next steps to build on the work already achieved with partners. You can find out more in this month’s edition.

This month also saw the publication of two sets of statistics, which all indicate that crime is falling. The Crime Survey for and Wales estimates overall that there were 8.6 million crimes in the year ending March 2013, which represents a 9% decrease in crime over the last year and is the lowest estimate since the survey began in 1981. These historic figures were complemented by a 7% fall in police recorded crime. This is a fantastic reflection on the hard work of the police and the many other crime reduction and criminal justice partners. You can read more details about both the crime and policing statistics here.

There is still work to do, as Damian Green set out in a speech, where he spoke of the key steps of police reform in order to deliver a “technologically savvy, well-managed, self-confident, open, transparent and scrupulously honest police force”. In his speech he also touched on the work being done by the College of Policing to produce the Code of Ethics and you can read more on this in this News Update.

And finally, we also welcomed HM Inspectorate of Constabulary’s third annual assessment of police forces, which once again reinforces the fact that forces are rising to the challenge of managing their resources in a way that can secure continued resilience and effective service to the public. However, the report also finds that the pace of change on collaboration is too slow, with the majority of forces making less than 10% of their required savings through collaborating with other forces, local partners and the private sector. There can be no clearer message that we all need to redouble our efforts to overcome the barriers and challenges of collaboration in order to fully realise the huge potential for efficiencies and other benefits.

Stephen Rimmer Director General, Crime and Policing Group Home Office

Theft from the Person - Information Pack

To help tailor crime prevention messages to address 'theft from person' (e.g. pickpocketing and snatch theft), the Home Office asked police forces for their knowledge and experience on this subject to share with other partners. The Home Office has created a pack that includes a collection of information that has been gathered from a range of sources including police forces, key partners and academia. Within the pack, there are examples of:

 Lessons learnt  Example messages  Existing offender prevention campaigns  Advice for forces to share with businesses on reducing Theft from the Person crime within their establishments

There are five sections within the pack, a short summary of each section can be found below:

Section 1 This section includes background information on 'theft from the person', including where incidents tend to occur and the profile of 'at risk' groups.

Section 2 This section offers some lessons learned from previous communication campaigns targeting theft.

Section 3 This section gives example messages, focussing on two 'at risk' groups: students and young women.

Section 4 This section presents details of existing campaigns that are being used by partners across England & Wales, and focuses on offender prevention activity.

Section 5 This section includes messages to businesses on how to reduce 'theft from the person' within their establishments and some external links to more information.

The appendix at the end of the pack contains links to further sources of information on personal safety and crime prevention. To download this pack, please click here. Care of the Elderly

You may have read the headlines and articles in the press (15/07/2013) regarding Norman Lamb, the Health Minister declaring his plans for Neighbourhood and Home Watch to become carers for the elderly.

The article was unfounded and took a speech which the minister made out of context. Please click here to view an official statement from Norman Lamb regarding this matter which I hope will reassure you that he is not asking Neighbourhood and Home Watch members to apply for care status.

Please click here to hear one of the many interviews Jim Maddan undertook on Monday to clarify the Network's position on the headlines. Again, I hope this reassures you that the Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network is not proposing that members take on care roles.

Catherine Dunn on behalf of Kate Daisley,

NHWN Operations Director Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network Make someone’s Christmas

Community Christmas believes that no elderly person in the UK should be on their own on Christmas Day unless they want to be. A research conducted by WRVS suggested that just under a quarter of a million older people spent Christmas alone last year. This is a shocking statistic and one which highlights how many members of our communities have become invisible and how we need to come together to ensure things are different in the future. On 25 June (6 months before Christmas) Community Christmas launched an initiative which aims to create the required change. As part of the planned activities Community Christmas is asking people to sign an online petition to show their support for the vision and help the campaign gather momentum. Please follow this link to show your support: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/community-christmas.html

Caroline Billington, Founder of Community Christmas said: “Everyone I speak to about this campaign agrees that it seems inconceivable that so many elderly and often vulnerable people are spending Christmas alone. Yet there are lonely people in every street in every town and village across the UK.”

Community Christmas will become the go-to place for Christmas Day events. The website will help anyone concerned about an elderly person needing company on Christmas Day find out about events in their area. The events publicised will be a combination of Community Christmas events and those run by other organisations. Similarly Community Christmas will provide support for those wishing to run their own event or donate some of their time or money to ensuring those events are possible. By putting the people who make it happen together with those who desperately need this resource we can make a real change.

Community Christmas recognises that in order to achieve the vision they will need to work in partnership with as many other organisations as possible. Neighbourhood Watch members are ideally placed to identify the need in their individual communities, let us know who in their community is best placed to meet that need or if indeed that need is already being met.

Despite the name, Community Christmas is about more than just Christmas Day. That is just the beginning. Caroline explains: “Christmas is the initial focus because as part of our extensive research we identified that many of the organisations who work tirelessly with elderly people throughout the year often take a well-deserved break at Christmas. Christmas provides an opportunity to reach out to the elderly who need support. this contact in turn provides an opportunity to identify their other health and well-being needs so that they can be put in touch with other organisations who can provide support and companionship during the rest of the year. Christmas is just the start of our legacy.”

If you would be interested in joining an initiative which has the potential to really make a difference then contact 0844 854 9251 or visit www.communitychristmas.co.uk Missing with Dementia

Three of every five people who have dementia go missing. There is a pilot scheme underway to help find and return such people. This scheme, known as Neighbourhood Return, will be rolled out across the country when funding is available and the Alert messaging system is in place

The scheme was featured on Meridian TV News Tuesday 30th July evening and this link will enable you to watch it http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/search/?q=neighbourhood+return

Neighbourhood Return uses local volunteers to support carers of People With Dementia (PWD) by sending them out for the PWD if they go wandering or get lost.

The service is live in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Milton Keynes and Waltham Forest. Further rollout into other areas is currently being discussed.

The majority of volunteers (56%) have been recruited through existing networks via NHWN and/or the police. As of the 30th July 2013, 3,137 volunteers have signed up to the service as a whole with 2,130 living in an active live search area.

As of the 30th July 2013, 194 people with dementia are signed up to the service as a whole, with 183 living within an active live search area.

Volunteers can sign up even if the service is not live in their area. They will be kept up-to-date on how the service is progressing, along with roll out dates in their area. Volunteers can do this by ticking ‘Neighbourhood Return’ as an information provider on their account if they have signed up to Neighbourhood Alert already from any site, or if they are not already registered, by visiting the NR website www.ourturn.org.uk. Bogus Police Officers on the Phone

There have been a number of incidents in the Epping area where persons have phoned elderly residents purporting to be police officers. They have alleged that the victim’s bank cards have been compromised in some way and then used one of three methods to try to steal from the victim’s accounts:

• Request details of the victim’s bank card and pin number over the phone using the pretence that they are police officers to gain the victim’s trust • Askingthe victim togo toherbanktoremove all themoneyfrom their account with the intention of then calling on the victim at home to trick them into handing over the money • Saying they need to seize the card and then sending an accomplice posing as another police officer, to the address to collect the bank cards and request the pin number.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD YOU GIVE YOUR BANK DETAILS OVER THE TELEPHONE OR SURRENDER YOUR BANK CARDS TO ANY CALLER

If you receive a call of this nature dial 999. This once the caller has disconnected and you have a dialling tone or on another phone such as a mobile. Later Life News Letter

There have been 12 break-ins and two attempted burglaries in the area since the end of June. Extra police patrols are being carried out day and night in the area and although the number of crimes has reduced, homes are still being targeted. Officers believe that the man in the efit image may be working with one or more thieves who either force their way into locked properties or sneak in through open windows or patio doors while the residents are at home. Most of the crimes have happened in the centre of the town between Cambridge Road and High Lane and small items such as cash, jewellery and bank cards have been stolen. Ds Becky Young who is leading the investigation, said: "Stansted Mountfitchet is a very safe area and very few burglaries happen annually. But in the last two months there have been 14 burglaries and attempted burglaries. "Local officers have delivered leaflets to householders giving them advice on security and extra day and night patrols are being carried out. "The efit image was created with the help of one resident who confronted a burglar in her home but so far we have not been able to find out who he is. We think he might be local to the area because the thieves do seem to know their way around small local roads and have escaped despite officers being on scene at break-ins as quickly as three minutes.” Anyone who can identify the man, or anyone with information about burglaries in the town should call Ds Young or her team at Braintree CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
