    OPERATION BOX CLEVER CLEVELAND POLICE LANGBAURGH DISTRICT CONTACT OFFICER SGT 1248 Dave Lister Management Support Dawson House Ridley Street Redcar Cleveland TS101TT Tel. (01642) 302008 Fax. (01642) 302725 E-mail [email protected] TILLEY AWARD 2000, SUBMISSION SUMMARY PROJECTTITLE- OPERATION BOX CLEVER The Crime and Disorder Audit for the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Langbaurgh District Police identified the alarming fact that the district of Redcar and Cleveland had the highest levels of arson and hoax calls within the U.K. The two adjacent wards of South Bank and Grangetown were the worst affected, and could justifiably be recognised as "the arson capital of the U.K." The Fire Brigade provided evidence of the twenty-five worst performing enumeration districts across the Cleveland area, ten of these were in the South Bank and Grangetown area. Research by the Fire Brigade identified young hoax callers, if unchallenged, can encourage others to make calls. Some hoax callers will progress to fire play and ultimately fire setting. It was further identified that areas with significant social deprivation also had the highest levels of hoax calls and arson. The Fire Brigade had access to a `one to one education service for referred fire-setters, which had a proven success rate in breaking the offending cycle. Historically, the dispatching of Police resources has always been prioritised. Hoax calls made predominantly by children below the age of criminal responsibility were never afforded the necessary commitment or investigative process and very few were identified. The response to the problem would include arson and hoax calls as a priority within the Community Safety Strategy for the district.

  • Letter to Ministers
    19 April 2017 Nicola Blackwood MP Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Public Health and Innovation Sarah Newton MP Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Vulnerability, Safeguarding and Countering Extremism Dear Ministers, The Policing and Crime Act 2017: Mental Health Provisions Thank you for your letter of 28 March 2017 to all PCCs highlighting upcoming changes to the Mental Health Act 1983. Further to our correspondence, letters and conversations with yourselves and Home Office officials over the last two years, and, taking into account the views of those working at the frontline of mental health provision, this letter is to formally record that over two thirds of PCCs oppose the use of police stations or police cells as places of safety for people in mental health crisis, under any circumstances. While we welcome the changes with respect of persons under 18 years of age, we do not believe these changes go far enough towards addressing our concerns, and that the same protection should be afforded to all. We do not agree with the view that police custody can be used in exceptional circumstances. These policy settings place too much pressure on front line officers, and create perverse incentives that will result in vulnerable individuals being managed by staff not in a position to offer them the requisite care, and the inappropriate criminalisation of mental health. This policy is flawed, and we are concerned it will lead to other situations similar to those that led to the tragic deaths of Thomas Orchard and Sean Rigg. In addition, and as we raised with you recently, it is our belief that in some areas of the country, front line services are not prepared for the pending changes.
