This month the Neighbourhood’s Team has seen an increase in the number of reports of cold callers offering various work around the home. Please be aware of these traders as they often try to offer you work you don’t need at unreasonable prices. They offer a simple job like gutter cleaning or drive cleaning and “find” additional “essential” work that costs far more to do than the original agreed price. We recommend only using reputable companies from the Hampshire trading standards approved list that can be found online or requested as a free booklet from trading standards.

  • Tackling Vehicle Crime in Portsmouth, England Operation Cobra
    TACKLING VEHICLE CRIME IN PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND OPERATION COBRA HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY, PORTSMOUTH BASIC COMMAND UNIT, 2004 THE PROBLEM: From April 2002 to March 2003, vehicle crime in Portsmouth, England increased 16 percent. Strategies in place, much of it focused on offender detection and generic crime prevention, were not working. A Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst reviewed 9 months of data (in the past only several weeks were reviewed at a time to determine patterns) uncovering more robust patterns: 1989 to 1998 vehicles were the most at risk, items stolen did not have property markings so resale was easy, vehicle crime concentrated in many repeat locations, in fact 49 percent of vehicle crimes occurred in just 167 of Portsmouth’s 1,600 streets. ANALYSIS: The Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst identified eight underlying conditions contributing to the high level of vehicle crimes. These conditions if turned around could significantly reduce vehicle crime in Portsmouth. RESPONSE: Engaging a wide variety of partners, including the media, the group developed Operation Cobra. It relied on a graded or tiered approach to reducing auto theft; different strategies were applied depending upon the level of vehicle crime on a street. Streets with 5 to 7 vehicle crimes used a victim-focused strategy (such as customized warnings and property marking). Those with 8 to 10 vehicle crimes focused on victims but incorporated environmental and situational changes to the location. Streets with 11 or more vehicle crimes focused on victim and location but also

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).

The key issue was whether the use of a syringe driver to deliver Diamorphine to Mrs. Richards was carded out in such a way as to cause her unlawful death. A critical meeting took place on 19t" June, 2001 between Detective Superintendent John James, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Clarke, the Crown Prosecution Case Worker, Mr. Paul C|ose, Treasury Counsel, and Professor/ivesley. It would appear that during that meeting Treasury Counsel came to the view that Professor Livesley’s report on the medical aspects of this case and his assertions that Mrs. Richards had been unlawfully killed, were flawed in respect of his analysis of the law.

  • Hmic Report: Strategic Policing Requirement
    HMIC REPORT: STRATEGIC POLICING REQUIREMENT PCC Anthony Stansfeld’s interim comment on HMIC’s Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR) inspection: “This inspection reports on the arrangements that all police forces should have in place to meet the SPR. Chief Constables must have regard to this and it is the role of PCCs to hold them account for doing so. The specific national threats set down in the SPR are: terrorism, civil emergencies, organised crime, public order threats and large-scale cyber incidents. The SPR also outlines the national required policing response to counter these threats by ensuring forces have the capacity, capability and collaborative arrangements in place to deliver against these threats. In their national report, HMIC provides assurance that chief constables are having regard to the SPR, but identifies that much more needs to be done by forces to secure the levels of preparedness that are necessary for them to collectively respond to all of the national threats. Thames Valley Police were not one of the 18 Forces directly inspected as part of the inspection process, although the Force is cited in various sections of the report: TVP is one of 14 forces that were found to have at least twice the number of trained Public Support Units (PSU) assessed as necessary to meet their local threat. However, the report is content with TVP’s numbers because ‘their national requirement for PSUs is greater than their local threat and they have resourced to their national requirement’. A comparison of Forces that were deemed either Mutual Aid ‘recipients or providers’ for 2011/12 and 2012/13 were undertaken.

Operationally this imposes significant demands upon emergency services and the wider partnership The demands of policing the Night Time Economy (NTE) within Southampton place a heavy demand on the police and Southampton City Council (SCC). This in terms of resources to minimise the effects of drink related crime and disorder and ensure public safety, conservative estimates placed the financial burden of policing the NTE alone at £1.6 million per annum (Annexe 1 – LNL report 2013) Operation Erwood is an ongoing police campaign to cut alcohol fuelled crime and disorder in Southampton and reduce the burden on public health, it is supported by Southampton Safe City Partnership (SCP) covering a wide spectrum of partners, stakeholders and voluntary services There are a significant number of persons who live outside the city, visiting attractions such as the theatre, restaurants and shopping complexes beyond the NTE in Southampton The successful and vibrant NTE in Southampton attracts tourists, local residents and students into the licensed venues. There are 5 distinct Night Time Economy (NTE) zones, (Annexe 2 – Basic maps of NTE zones) The impact of the NTE has historically has imposed a disproportionately negative impact on crime and disorder levels within the Southampton district and those 5 NTE zones.

  • Reducing Violent Crime and Public Disorder in Hampshire, UK (2009)
    SUMMARY Reducing violent crime and disorder in Hampshire UK Scanning Since 2004, increases in alcohol related public place violent crime and disorder in the UK were a matter for public disquiet. There were serious effects upon the economy and in public confidence. In 2006, an agreement was made between HM Government, Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Constabulary and partners to achieve more demanding performance targets. They agreed to ‘stretch’ the existing target for the year 2009, to 25.3% lower than the 2004/5 crime level. A financial incentive was at the heart of the agreement. In 2007, a Co-ordinator was appointed to assist three Hampshire Constabulary, Operational Command Units (those in the County area) to achieve their target. The Co-ordinator had developed a methodology to make problem solving routine. Analysis Progress had been made between 2006/7.The identified problem and responses were reviewed. Reductions had been achieved through enforcement and education; further analysis indicated potential challenges to continued progress using these tactics. Areas of work and locality were identified. Further analysis found 10% of streets where violent crime occurred hosted 54% of that crime. Seventy-two streets represented 17% of crime where crime levels exceeded fifty in a year. This provided the best opportunities for success by tackling the issues in certain streets. Secondary analysis highlighted sixteen issues that could act against ensuring problem solving success. Response A strategy was developed to address the issues and get a routine problem solving approach embedded into management response, as well as police and partnership practice to tackle long term and rising problems.
