local police have now made criminal damage ,burglary and roads safety ward promises until MAY 2016

[Peckham Rye LPT]

Please be aware soon of recent crime prevention advice/leaflets attachments.

[Mugglesworth]

What does this mean? There are no attachments. Promises that cover only two months don't sound ambitious.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Eh?

I hear of three break ins at Village newsagent and two at nearby Jigsaw in last MONTH alone!! Where are the coppers???

These are what are called Ward Promises from ward Meetings. You ask we answer. The format in my opinion is excellent and very responsive to people who attend the meetings. You can find out about your local ward meeting by looking at

And

Email and ask when the next ward meeting is, they are informative and fun

See you there that's when the priorities are set

I guess this explains this There Has Been A Burglary Near You leaflet I got through the door. It's prompted me to start locking the door when I'm home slightly more often.

It is very unlikely that the police can catch burglars, street thieves etc in the act and they can just solve crimes that have already been committed using intelligence. So it is up to the general public to keep their valuables and themselves safe.Since there are no REAL deterrents when these scrotes are caught especially the younger ones, nothing will improve.

[Blah Blah]

Crime is up everywhere. Nothing to do with cuts to Police of course!!!!

[uncleglen]

It was inevitable that, due to the expansion of the use of electronic surveillance, improvements in home and car security, that police numbers would be cut as fire service numbers were cut due to improvements in prevention- this is to be welcomed surely. In the last year, after a fall in crime figures over the last 20 years, overall crime rose by 2% last year. Unfortunately violence against the person increased by 21%......
