Community Reassurance Patrol

Community Reassurance Patrol

While carrying out a joint foot patrol with PCSO Martin, we came across two males drinking alcohol and leaving litter in a public place. We engaged with them, provided suitable words of advice regarding their behaviour, and issued a verbal warning. The individuals were cooperative, complied with our instructions, and removed their rubbish immediately.

We then conducted reassurance patrols in Ethelbert Gardens, one of our identified hotspot locations, where we spoke with local residents about anti-social behaviour concerns and listened to issues affecting the community. We also distributed A4 community safety leaflets by placing them on lamp posts to raise awareness and encourage reporting.

It was a pleasure to engage with residents from different wards and hear their views. 

Working across ward boundaries provides valuable opportunities to understand local issues, support colleagues, share knowledge and best practice, and strengthen partnerships within our communities.

Visible patrols, positive engagement, and early intervention remain key to keeping our neighbourhoods safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.
