Adverse weather
Although the weather has not been as bad as it was last year, bear in mind adverse weather conditions and take some simple tasks to prepare for the snow and ice
Priorities / action taken

Criminal Damage to Motor Vehicles
Action:- During January 2012, there were numerous reports of Criminal Damage to motor vehicles in Goole & Hook. Criminal Damage is a serious offence, and preventing it is a significant factor in helping communities to feel safer, and to be able to take more pride in the environment in which they live. There are other secondary effects, including rising insurance premiums, both for the victims of these crimes, and for all residents in the area who are consequently deemed to be living in an “at risk” area by insurance companies.
Update on priority – Police Constables, Special Constables, and Community Support Officers have been working with victims of these crimes helping them become less vulnerable in the future. High-visibility patrols will continue in the area to help prevent such offences.

Shoplifting at shop premises, Pasture Road Goole.
Traders have reported concerns about levels of theft and attempt theft from shops in Goole. Whilst the reported crime figures have risen in the past couple of months, this has been down to a select few who caused the increase. Having met with the traders it is recognised that the concerns are genuinely felt. Officers are targeting the area with designated patrol routes seeking to disrupt and disperse any problems. A shop watch scheme already exists and traders have been encouraged to report any problems they encounter. Police action will be fair, firm and consistent. Those who steal from shops should expect to be prosecuted.
Update on priority:-.
Throughout January 2012 Goole Neighbourhood Policing Team continued to focus on deterring and reducing the number of Shop Theft in Goole Town Centre. During this time 14 shop thefts were reported with 9 of them being detected resulting in offenders being issued with Fixed Penalty Notices and being dealt with at court. These patrols are to continue with the aim of reducing Shop Thefts in Goole Town Centre.

We have been working hard to tackle anti-social behaviour on Boothferry Road. During the month of March 2010, a female juvenile was charged to court for a public disorder offence. Humberside Police have made a successful application for this female to be the subject of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order, which places various prohibitions on the female including being forbidden to enter specific areas of Goole.
After a number of complaints from members of the public about youths throwing items at cars on Boothferry Road, the Goole Neighbourhood Policing Team, along with plain clothes officers and police officers from the divisional support section, mounted an operation against this group. As a result, six arrests were made and five youths are being dealt with for criminal offences.

April
Youths causing annoyance on Boothferry Road, between Pasture Road and Henry Street
Youths are congregating in groups around this area during evenings, and causing annoyance to others, and becoming involved in low level crime, such as nuisance, litter and criminal damage.
Regular highly visible patrols at dedicated times by Goole Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) staff, including Police Officers, Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), and attendance to all reports of anti-social behaviour. These patrols seize alcoholic drink from young people, issue Penalty Notices for Disorder offences (PND’s) and make arrests. Details of persons present and contributing to the anti-social behaviour will be obtained by these patrols. Communication will take place with parents of these young persons, and with partner agencies. All reported criminal offences will be fully investigated and dealt with. CCTV evidence will be maximised and used where appropriate.
Partnership working with East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) Anti-social Behaviour Team (ASB Team) will engage relevant young people with Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) to reduce ASB and where relevant for the most serious offenders, prosecutions are commenced and applications made for Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs). Joint working with other neighbouring police forces, such as British Transport Police, to ensure that the railway network is also effectively policed.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team are actively gathering evidence against key individuals persistently engaging in anti-social behaviour, with a view to applying for Anti-social Behaviour Orders against them, to prohibit their disruptive behaviour.
Young people are engaged in diversionary activities, including Twilight Football events at Goole Leisure Centre. Consultation is still under way with regard to the placement of a suitable youth shelter in the town.
Offences of theft and reports of anti-social behaviour within and against retail premises, Goole Town Centre
Reduce the number of criminal offences with retail premises, particularly shop theft and anti-social behaviour through joint working with a local Shop Watch network. Establish a firm base for the Goole Shop Watch, with radio links and distribution of regular offender’s photographs. Maintain and promote the Shop Watch system to other retail and commercial premises within the town, and work with the shops to reduce and prevent offences against and within their premises.
The Goole Shop Watch system has been rolled out to several stores within Goole Town Centre, and is proving to be successful, particularly using the radio network as an early warning system. Police will actively participate with the Shop Watch to provide advice and reassurance, and to investigate any reported offences.
The scheme will continue to be promoted and supported by Police, with officers dedicated to delivering the scheme.
