    UNIVERSITY oF CENTRAL LANCA S HIRE PARTNERSHIP POLICING BY PC 970 IAIN ASHER UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICER PRESTON POLICE STATION LAWSON STREET PRESTON LANCASHIRE PR1 2RJ TEL: 01772 209157 FAX: 01772 209146 Lancashire Constabuary Summary Title. University of Central Lancashire Partnership Policing. The University of Central Lancashire is located within Central Division close to the centre of Preston, Lancashire. In 1997, the Division moved towards a geographic style of policing and I took ownership of the policing problems of the University. It was apparent that the main volume crime issues facing the area were crimes against property. This was a problem which affected both students and the university organisation_ Scanning and analysis quickly indicated that a large proportion of these crimes could t have been avoided had basic security and crime prevention measures been adhered to. The issue was, therefore, largely one of education. Education of the community to prevent students and staff becoming victims of crime and education of the University organisation to help it to improve the way in which it addressed its crime problems. The University is an autonomous organisation which can resemble a distinct community. It has its own physical boundaries, hierarchy, discipline structure and policing systems. As an organisation they had many of the resources and structures to deal with their crime problems, but needed help to work more efficiently. The response to the problem was, therefore, to develop partnerships within the University to help them to address their crime problems. This approach was beneficial to the police as it has a positive influence not only on crime figures, but also on demands upon police time.
