Community Priorities for September 2020
          
High Visibility Patrols – Covid 19

Officers in your area are keeping a high visability presence in your local towns. Making sure members of the public are adhering to the Governments guidelines. Also attending the shops which are still open providing reassurance and support. Assistance shall be provided to shops if they require it with regards to the need for customers to wear face masks. 

High Value Vehicle Thefts
Numerous reports of Range Rovers stolen from driveways in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Keep car keys secure and away from the front of the property. 

Poaching
We have received a few reports of potential poaching in our area. This will become a priorty in the upcoming winter months.

Drugs 
We are seeing an influx of intelligence from members of the public with regards to drug use and drug dealing. Please continue to send this in. The more information we receive the greater the chance we have to act on it. 

Operation Galaxy 
Our Operation Galaxy officers are focused on proactively tackling crime and those responsible for it. Our task force is also able to identify vulnerabilities and help vulnerable people while we are out in our Communities.  So far there has been a large number of drugs warrants executed in Hull and the East Riding as part of this operation. 

Children Back to School

Withernsea Community Police team welcomes you all back and has issued some road safety tips for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

Withernsea Primary and Secondary Schools on Hull Rd have adjusted their start and finish times for their pupils and created a staggered timing system. Please make yourselves aware of the new times as some are quite substantial. 

Primary school have start times at 8.40am and 9am, finishing times at 3.10pm and 3.10pm.
Secondary school start at 8.30am and finish from 2.10pm. 

Also at Withernsea Primary School the build has started on the new school which has meant the closure of the staff carpark at the north building. Meaning more staff will have to park outside of school. Please be aware of reduced parking in the area. 

Pedestrian safety     Take time to check out the route to school including any potential hazard points along the way. Look for the safest crossing places. If your child is moving up to a new school, plan the journey and allow plenty of time.
Don’t be distracted by use of devices, particularly when crossing the road. Children are advised to wear bright clothing, and preferably reflective or fluorescent items.    Regular walking to school is a fantastic way for children and adults to stay active.

Cycling to school  Now is a good time to make sure your child’s bicycle is in good working order – and wearing an approved cycle helmet is recommended. Lights may also be needed during the darker months.

School bus advice      Children are advised to arrive at the bus stop five minutes early. When getting off the bus, they should wait until it moves off and the road is clear in both directions before crossing the road.

Take your time and be patient.
