We now have well established Safer Neighbourhoods teams (SNTs) comprising of police officers, police community support officers (PCSOs), Accredited Community Support Officers (ACSOs), Special Constables and volunteers. Street Pastors also operate across Fair Oak and Horton Heath and in Eastleigh town centre and in addition, more Street Pastors are currently in training and will operate across Hedge End, West End, Botley, Bishopstoke, Chandlers Ford, Velmore, Hiltingbury and Valley Park later in the year. These teams work with other statutory agencies, volunteer groups and the community to try and make a real difference. Each team provides a visible presence in each neighbourhood and works closely with our partners and the public to tackle anti-social behaviour, solve crime and build community confidence. They deal with the priority issues and concerns of the people in their area – and keep the community updated on progress made on previous priorities.
Find out more about your local team by clicking on the area where you live on the map above.
We continue to try to involve community members in the work we do, by finding out what is important to you and the concerns you have. We are aware that anti-social behaviour continues to be a complaint raised and we are keen to work with other agencies and the community to deal with these problems when they occur. We want to ensure that you, as community members, get a real say in the way that your area is policed. We want to provide a reassuring presence for law abiding citizens and want to make any potential criminals think twice about committing crime.
The SNT are supported by Targeted Patrol Teams (TPTs) who work to provide a 24 hour response to dealing with the crimes in progress and calls that require a more urgent response. Both teams seek to provide an excellent service across Eastleigh District.
What have we achieved over the last year?
Since April 2009 there has been a continuing reduction in reported crime of 14.9% which equates to 1,390 less victims of crime, compared to the same period in 2008/09. This is testament to the hard work, commitment and willingness of all the many people who are working in our communities. Police have detected over 29% of those offences, which is a further improvement on performance last year and illustrates our commitment to catching offenders and calling them to account for their behaviour. We are not complacent and know that there is still more work to do. I realise that reported crime going down doesn’t necessarily make people feel safer and we are working hard with our partners to ensure that reassurance remains high on our agenda for the coming year.
What next?
We are keen to know your views and to know how you feel about your community. On the following web pages you will find opportunities for you to meet your local SNT and tell them your views. There are many opportunities to see them at pre-arranged meetings such as Local Action Group meetings (which are attended by police and their partners), Beat Surgeries, (which are held at places where the community already gather like coffee mornings, supermarkets, libraries etc), via meetings held by our partners (Parish and Town Council meetings), Street Meets (a meeting to address a particular problem) or when you see one of the team members on patrol. In addition there are email addresses listed for the local teams. If you have the time, we would welcome your views on what the issues are for your area. We will be running a campaign to reduce anti-social behaviour over the summer, working hard to find long term solutions to what is an annual problem in some locations. This is a campaign where all staff from the Hampshire Constabulary are involved and we need to know from you where you want us to concentrate our actions.
Eastleigh district remains a safe place to live, work and visit and our aim is to maintain that reputation and work towards making the district even safer.
