Campaigns and Initiatives CRIMESTOPPERS

Police Scotland has linked up with independent charity Crimestoppers to help tackle drug dealing in Inverclyde by encouraging people to speak up 100% anonymously. If you have any information about drug dealing please contact CRIMESTOPPERS anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the non-traceable Anonymous Online Form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org FEARLESS Fearless is a valuable tool for young people to report crime completely anonymously as well as where young people can access non-judgemental information and advice about crime and criminality. Over the next few months staff from Fearless will be visiting Secondary Schools across Inverclyde to help support young people ensuring they know there are options when reporting crime. FAILURE TO STOP - ADVICE FOR DRIVERS Over the course of this winter, police in the local area have spent their time dealing with fail to stop accidents in the Gourock area. These have resulted in drivers being subsequently traced and charged with failing to stop and exchange details at the scenes of accidents. Some of the reasons the police are hearing during their enquiries is that the driver of the offending vehicle was unaware that they had to stop and provide details and they believed the damage to be minor. Drivers who have just passed their test, should make themselves aware of their responsibilities to other road users. Those more mature drivers, who have not sat a test recently should keep themselves up to date with the rules of the road. For avoidance of doubt, should you hit an unattended vehicle you should make attempts to trace the owner. If you have an accident where names and addresses have not been exchanged you should report this to police within 24hrs. If in doubt contact police on 101 and ask. Crime Last month there were a total of 21 crimes, which is 3% of the total crime across Inverclyde and is average for crime across the past year.
