Child Criminal Exploitation

There has been a notable increase over the last few months of youths who are being coerced or threatened into crime and as such our team wishes to abolish Child Criminal Exploitation in the Havestoe area. This would not be possible without every agency assisting, and as such we aim to be active on our ward and target addresses and people which have information being fed through. We will be available to ask advice about this matter and strive to do everything we can to prevent these types of offences taking place.

If you see children involved in drug dealing activities, chances are is that they are being exploited. Please ring it in to the police so we can try and protect this vulnerable group of our society. You may see drug dealing, we do too, but it’s the risk of serious harm to some of those doing this and by reporting we can put things in place to protect them.

We are currently working with a number of children from within the local area who are receiving support from the local policing team in conjunction with a number of partner agencies, whom we work closely with.

Child Sexual Exploitation

This issue has been raised due to the heightened number of reported issues regarding Child Sexual Exploitation and is a priority that every officer aims to prevent. Prevention would not be possible without every agency assisting, and as such we aim to be active on our ward and target addresses and people which are involved, or have been involved. Our local officers will respond to every call regarding this matter effectively and will strive to get the best resolution for all parties affected. Information about this matter should be fed through either the 101 system or the GET IN TOUCH email link above as a matter of priority.

We urge you to continue to report your concerns to your local team, through the 101 number, by using the online links below or alternatively, by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers (0800 555 111).

General ASB/breach of COVID

 Since January 2021  the team had EIGHT calls for service when it came to general anti-social behaviour. The team are continuing to work with both partner agencies as well as with residents. We work in conjunction with our partner agencies when it comes to ASB, we carry out high visibility foot patrol with local school Pastoral Staff who can identify their students. If any follow up works are required we involved the YPSS and GRAFT teams with the aim of getting the local youths back on track. If we need to take a sterner view we may involve NELC and take any youths identified to an ASB panel where we can start imposing such measures as curfews etc.

We urge you to continue to report your concerns to your local team, through the 101 number, by using the online links below or alternatively, by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers (0800 555 111).

However we would like to encourage you to contact Police in order to report all anti-social behaviour incidents. Unfortunately we do not monitor all social media platforms (like Facebook) and we do rely on your call for service which would allow us to have the right resources at the right place at the right time.
