Crime Prevention Advice

Dear Residents
 I just wanted to take this opportunity to send out this very last message to you all and to say thank you for all of your support over the years. I am now retiring form the Force, to which I have enjoyed policing the local residents on the Isle.

Please ensure that you take measures to keep items out of view in vehicles, homes, garages, sheds, commercial premises. Invest in good quality locks on  doors and windows.  The Master Locksmiths Association has information. Locks should conform to British and European Standards and have the relevant kite marks. Dusk to dawn lighting is the preferred option for domestic lighting.

Please consider defensive planting to discourage burglars climbing over fencing and gates. The RHS website will have advice about types of plants.

www.securedbydesign.com  and  www.soldsecure.com have police preferred specification products
Many offences are preventable by spending time identifying where security could be improved and some simple measures are not costly.

Please consider marking of property and recording on Immobilise or Bike Register www.bikeregister.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fIJuf8U-IQlzvO7_HEXvU1LgVi235LjE2LPF-gNsVfTo87mMWidEY-kaAoTaEALw_wcB

Please take photographs of valuables

If you see or hear anything suspicious in your area, please contact police using our reporting system like 999/101 or on-line reporting.

Just a quick reminder about our Dashcam portal


A  online portal has been launched where people can submit Dash Cam footage of suspected driving offences.
Chief Superintendent Christine Wilson, head of our Specialist Operations Unit, said: “Our communities will be well aware of the increasing use of dashcams by motorists on our roads. Up until now we have not had the capability of receiving uploaded footage from members of the public who witness inappropriate or dangerous driving behaviour by their fellow road users. 
“However, we been working hard with our IT teams and have developed an online portal where members of the public can upload footage, and once we receive the footage one of our roads policing officers will review it.
“There are some conditions that we need the public to meet – firstly, footage will need to be of a certain quality to enable us to consider it, and where clips do not meet the necessary requirements we will be unable to take any further action in relation to the report.
“If we review a piece of footage and it clearly shows that an offence has taken place, we have a number of options to consider taking. Sometimes that might involve us issuing an advisory letter to the owner of the offending vehicle. On other occasions we will consider that the driver of the vehicle needs to be offered an opportunity to attend an educational course as an alternative to prosecution.
“For more serious offences, or where we have evidence of someone committing repeat offences, we will consider issuing a fixed penalty notice or, where appropriate, seek a prosecution.
“I want to be clear that this in no way replaces the traditional roads policing patrols that my teams do day-to-day – dealing with Dashcam footage is very much in addition to our usual tactics. You will still see roads policing vehicles on patrol, and also our partners in Safer Roads Humber conducting enforcement activity in key locations. We also have our Community Speedwatch teams operating in locations around the force.
“Road safety remains a priority for us and we will continue to ensure that roads users committing offences, that we know contribute to serious injury or fatal collisions such as using a phone whilst driving, driving under the influence of drink or drugs, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt or doing anything else that puts people on the road at risk, are dealt with robustly.
“Unfortunately we cannot be on every road at every minute of the day, but I am optimistic that this new option for reporting driving offences will encourage everyone who uses our roads to make sure that they are driving safely. The public are the best partner we have we have to set the standards of driving we expect, and we look forward to sharing with you some of the successes we know we will have in dealing with dashcam footage.”
You can upload footage or images via our website now at: www.humberside.police.uk/dash-cam-reporting

Crime Prevention Advice



Dear Resident

Remember to keep your own property secure to reduce the opportunity for thieves. Whenever possible lock your doors and windows in unoccupied rooms even if you are in the house.

Please be reminded to lock your doors and to keep any security gates closed and locked at all times

We also advice residents not to leave high value items on display as they may entice thieves.
 
To assist us in identifying stolen property please consider property marking high value items using Smartwater or UV pens.  You are also advised to register property at www.immobilise.com which is a free on-line property register used by police forces nationwide to reunite stolen goods to their owners. All you have to do is register on-line and then upload properties electrical items serial numbers.

Crime Prevention Advice

1. Keep all the doors and windows locked.

2. Make your property appear occupied, even when you are out. You could use timers to turn on lights and have blinds set to prevent seeing inside, which may confirm a house is unoccupied.

3. If an offender approaches your house, make sure nothing blocks the view of them, such as garden hedges or trees and make sure the area is well lit so they are easily noticed.

4. Keep valuables in the home out of general view from the opportunist burglar. They may look through windows when deciding if the home contains property they consider worth stealing. Use blinds, nets or other window coverings to prevent this.

5. Fit a burglar alarm with visible, deterrent bell boxes front and rear and keep the system maintained.

Key Activities

1. Mark your valuables and register them on www.Immobilise.com

2. Consider joining or forming a neighbourhood or business network/group. Offenders are less likely to cause crime in an area where people care.
