Inspector Chris White is responsible for Safer Neighbourhoods policing in East Hampshire.
Inspector Chris White joined Hampshire Constabulary in 1990. He has a strong operational background, having served in numerous frontline policing roles in both specialist and territorial operations departments.
He says: "When I took the helm of the Safer Neighbourhood Teams in May this year I assured the East Hants community that we would work vigorously with them and all our agency partners to address community priorities, reduce anti-social behaviour and prevent alcohol-related disorder.
"You can see some examples of these efforts and achievements detailed throughout the East Hants Safer Neighbourhoods teams' web pages.
"Overall, I am delighted that between April and October the community of East Hants has experienced the following reductions in crime and disorder (compared to the same period last year):
- 10% reduction in the number of rowdy and inconsiderate incidents
- 12% reduction in the numbers of incidents where motor vehicles have been used in an anti-social way
- 10% reduction in the numbers of assaults causing minor injuries
- 7.5% reduction in the number of criminal damage offences
"Whilst it is pleasing to see this progress, it is also important to consolidate on these achievements and to continue developing and enhancing community leadership which delivers further successes.
"In order to achieve this, the East Hants Safer Neighbourhoods Teams will continue community engagement and educational activities to support the empowerment of community initiatives and maximise police enforcement activities in order to combat anti-social behaviour and violence.
"As an example of these continued enforcement activities, Operation Respect, a four month district-wide Safer Neighbourhoods team driven operation has been launched to consolidate on the successes already achieved during the summer anti-social behaviour operation.
"Operation Respect will run from October through to January 2010 and will involve every policing team from across the whole East Hants District.
"This concerted and focused effort will build on recent successes and will seek to identify, engage and enforce the law with those individuals and groups responsible for committing crime and social disorder.
"I look forward to bringing you more news of our successes across all our policing activities over coming months."
