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
Updated
09February
Anti-social behaviour around the Poets Corner area and The Courtyard, Goole
Joint working with residents and other authorities to establish the extent of the problem, and to work together to bring a long term conclusion. Numerous reports have been made of groups of persons congregating in the streets and public areas, acting in an anti-social and disrespectful manner, and causing a noise nuisance. Work is ongoing to identify the offenders, and target their behaviour. Where criminal offences are committed, these will be investigated.
Update on preExtra foot patrols have been directed to the areas which have been suffering historically with problems relating to anti social behaviour. Since last month the number of reports on anti social behaviour has greatly reduced. Extra foot patrols have been directed into the town centre, along with the introduction of a twice-monthly PCSO stall within Goole market. The introduction of the stall has allowed local residents to meet and discuss any ASB issues and receive advice and support from their local PCSO. The stall has to-date proved very popular with local residents.

Shoplifting at shop premises, Goole Town
Whilst the reported crime figures have risen in the past couple of months, this has been down to a 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
09February
Diesel thefts from industrial areas of Goole.
Directing focused patrols to offence locations in order to prevent further offences and identify any suspects
Update on previous priority:
With the increase in the cost of all fuel types a large number of reports of theft of fuel have been received. This is a relatively swift crime to commit for a high value reward for a product that cannot be easily traced. During the period the diesel fuel has been siphoned from vehicles tanks of HGV are parked up over night on the industrial estates vehicle parks in the Goole South area. One location has had the misfortune to have been targeted twice with the value of fuel stolen reaching to £100’s of pounds. Extra patrols have been tasked to patrol the area and completing checks on any person or vehicles seen during the silent hours. This patrol plan is still on going. Officers on these patrols had established that quite a few offences had not been reported. Humberside Police would encourage any offences to be reported in order for patrols to be directed to problem area where they are required.

Offenders Brought to Justice
There were 16 incidents of crime that were detected during the month of November
These ranged from Assault, Drugs, Damage and witness intimidation offences.
Below is a snap shot of some of the issues dealt with -
On 20 September 2011 a male entered The Department Of Employment offices at Mulberry House inn Goole and shouted racist remarks to a female member of staff. Following enquiries the male was identified, arrested and charged with a racially motivated public order offence.
On 16th September 2011 an incident occurred on Pasture Road Goole where 2 vehicles belonging to the Turkish owners of a takeaway were damaged. 2 males were subsequently arrested and charged with racially aggravated public order and racially aggravated criminal damage offences
On the evening of 25 September 2011 a male was found semi conscious in Elsie Street having been assaulted. He had sustained a fractured cheek bone. In his statement he stated he had been at late night club in Goole and had an uneventful evening. Consequently he could give no reason as to why someone would assault him. Unfortunately another complaint came in from a second male alleging he had been assaulted at the same late night club by the victim of the “unprovoked” attack.
As the result of enquires a male was arrested for the Elsie Street assault He admitted responsibility stating it was in retribution for the attack on his friend at the club. The Elsie Street victim was arrested and admitted the initial assault. He was cautioned. A charging decision is still awaited for his assailant depending on professional medical evidence.

Previous Priorities
July
Series of arson offences (criminal damage by fire) to wheelie bins and sheds within residential areas central within the town
Full investigation of the offences by police, and joint working with Humberside Fire & Rescue. Fire safety and crime prevention advice to be delivered to the victims, and any other identified potential victims.
Where appropriate crime scene investigation and fire investigations to be conducted.
Anti-social behaviour around the Fieldhouse Villas area of Swinefleet Road, and Morley Street area, Old Goole
Youths are congregating in groups around this area during evenings, and causing annoyance to residents, and becoming involved in low level crime such as anti-social behaviour, littering and causing criminal damage.
Action:- Regular and directed highly visible patrols 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 (PNDs) and make arrests. Details of persons contributing to 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, and the use of CCTV will be maximised, including the use of covert cameras. Work will continue with licensed premises to prevent the sale of alcohol to persons under the age of 18.
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 anti-social behaviour and where relevant for the most serious offenders, prosecutions are commenced and applications made for Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs). Joint working with the Local Action Team and Neighbourhood Action Teams, together with Humberside Fire and Rescue to target the problem of unauthorised fires on the waste lane / farm land.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team are actively gathering evidence against persons engaging in anti-social behaviour, and are also exploring long term solutions to prevent such behaviour regularly occurring. We are looking at ways of ‘target hardening’ the area, to prevent anti-social behaviour occurring. This is a process by which subtle changes can be made to an area, to prevent or reduce crime. An audit of the area around Fieldhouse Villas has been conducted by local police officers, East Riding of Yorkshire Council officers and crime prevention officers. We are giving consideration to measures which can be taken to deter groups of youths from congregating around these houses.
Multi-agency work is ongoing in the Old Goole area, with consultation about the erection of a youth shelter in the area. Extensive street surgeries were conducted last year to obtain residents views about which priorities should be looked at by relevant agencies. Work is ongoing to address these concerns.
Offences of theft and reports of anti-social behaviour with 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.

Anti-social behaviour on Boothferry Road (between junctions with Pasture Road / Henry Street)
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.
Anti-social behaviour around the Fieldhouse Villas area of Swinefleet Road, and Morley Street area, Old Goole
Several arrests have been made, targeting the group causing anti-social behaviour in the Old Goole area. A 13 year old male has been arrested and charged with a pubic order offence after using threatening language towards others whilst he was part of a large group. An application is currently being made to the courts to apply for an ASBO against this male. A further youth has been arrested and interviewed for a public order and obstruct police offence, as a result of the same incident. This male is on police bail pending further enquiries. A 14 year old female was arrested for a public order offence, after using abusive language in the presence of the police. The female was caused to receive a reprimand (police caution) for this offence. Five local youths have been engaged with Anti-social Behaviour Contracts as a result of their disorderly behaviour. This will ensure they are closely monitored by the police, and parents are aware and involved. Consultation is still ongoing with a view to applying ‘target hardening’ to this area

Anti-social behaviour on Boothferry Road (between junctions with Pasture Road / 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 anti-social behaviour, littering and criminal damage. The youths are also throwing missiles at travelling vehicles using Boothferry Road, causing a danger to road users.
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.
Update on previous priority: We have been working hard to tackle this issue. During the month of February 2010, a female juvenile was arrested for multiple public order offences, and charged to appear at court, after being witnessed throwing items at travelling vehicles on Boothferry Road. In addition to the court’s sentence, an application has been submitted to the courts applying for an ASBO against this female to prohibit such behaviour in the future.
A further two youths have been engaged by the police and accepted the terms of an Acceptable Behaviour Contract as a result of their anti-social behaviour on Boothferry Road.
