The role Neighbourhood Policing plays in Operation Galaxy This month has seen your local policing team dealing with a number of incidents under the operation name of Galaxy. Since the start of this operation we have made nearly 500 arrests across the force area. As part of this operation the local neighbourhood team in Goole have been patrolling local ASB hotspots, making numerous visits to vulnerable persons, and have executed a number of warrants in the wider area resulting in numerous arrests and protecting the public from harm. Your local neighbourhood team plays a crucial role within Humberside Police and the area you live. They are the eyes and ears of your local community, ensuring that the issues of most concern to you are acted upon. Their time is spent patrolling the streets and crime hotspot areas, listening to your concerns and working with partner agencies to proactively tackle issues such as; antisocial behaviour, nuisance motor vehicles, drug misuse, wildlife and rural crime and burglaries, among others. If you report a problem, we will work with partners to resolve it. With the lockdown restrictions gradually being eased, your neighbourhood team will be continuing to provide a highly visible presence and reassurance in your community. Our Ward areas cover a diverse section of the East Riding covering both urban and rural areas, each one having slightly differing needs. Our neighbourhood teams are a key part of policing and are essential to the smooth running of Operation Galaxy. We will be patrolling areas that are likely to grow in popularity such as retail parks and open outdoor spaces. We will be supporting local businesses, offering guidance and advice to ensure that both employees and customers feel safe when they do reopen. You can get in touch with us in a few ways. Our neighbourhood officers are there to listen to you. You can tell them your concerns in person when you see them on patrol or if they knock on your door. We actively encourage our communities to report the issues that matter to them. We are all about patrolling with a purpose, which means mapping out and providing a visible presence in the areas you are frequently reporting to us. One of the easiest ways to pass us information is by calling our non emergency number 101. We have a team of specially trained operators who can take information from you and make sure it lands in the hands of the correct team. |

Good News As a result of concerns raised regarding road related offences our Roads Policing Unit were in the local area on the 27th May with drivers dealt with in Goole, Howden,Rawcliffe, Airmyn and the M62. #keepingYouSafe # InYourCommunity. A driver has been arrested for drink driving and driving without a licence. The driver was stopped on Lime Tree Avenue, Goole and provided a road side breath test which was three times over the prescribed limit. He has now been charged and will now appear before the courts. The vehicle has also been seized. Sgt Farley said” I am extremely passionate about road safety and protecting the public against dangerous and careless drivers. Drink driving in particular causes many deaths or serious injuries on our roads and we will actively pursue offenders. We are out daily stopping cars and speaking to drivers, the majority of which are abiding by the law. The roads are a lot quieter than usual but this does not mean we will tolerate poor driving or turning a blind eye to offences. Road traffic collisions are still occurring and people are still been killed or seriously injured, we will continue to enforce legislation to protect the public and save lives” |
