Actions taken on your neighbourhood priorities and general updates
Update: 03/02/2010 17:01:29
Distraction burglaries
Please remain vigilant for unannounced callers at your door. While there have been no distraction burglaries in the area recently, it remains an important problem that we all need to be aware of.
I have seen a copy of a leaflet that has recently been delivered to elderly residents’ houses in Staveley Way. These leaflets offer any type of work you may need doing around the home. If you have received this leaflet or have had any work done as a result of taking up this offer, I would be very interested to know. I would rather check out the validity of the service on offer before you use their services. This is not to say all business operating in this way are illegitimate, but unfortunately some are.
Panel update
On 28 January 2010 we held a Neighbourhood Panel meeting in Knaphill with a grand total of two local residents, two councillors, three Surrey Police staff members and a local gentleman trying to hand out leaflets for his locksmith company!
I would like to emphasis that Panel meetings are arranged for all Knaphill residents. They offer an opportunity for you to speak with us about local issues affecting the community. We discuss these concerns and vote on what you feel your Safer Neighbourhood team should be concentrating on. With around 15.000 people living in Knaphill, two local residents can’t possibly represent or reflect the views of everyone. Please make every effort to attend so that you can have your own say.
The predominant issues covered at the meeting were parking around schools, especially Chobham Road and Winston Churchill. The group was updated that the team had already carried out a very successful Operation Drive SMART day, resulting in 14 people being spoken to about the manner of their driving.
The team will ensure patrols, including more SMART days, will continue at all locations and with the participation of other officers from other policing areas, so that more enforcement can take place.
Nursery Road
PCSO Sultan Khan has been out and about in Nursery Road recently, speaking with local residents and youths concerning incidents of disorder in which items have been thrown at properties and general rowdy behaviour has been experienced. PCSO Khan has stopped many youths in the area, giving them words of advice about their behaviour.
Brookwood
It has come to my attention that Brookwood residents would like an update or further clarification on recent events in the area.
On 21st November 2009 Pamela Burrows was reported missing from the Pirbright area. Investigations were conducted in Pirbright and Brookwood through house-to-house enquires to establish if any local residents had seen her. In early December, as you will no doubt be aware, a woman’s body – which proved to be the missing person – was found on the canal path at Brookwood Lye. A post-mortem was conducted and revealed nothing suspicious. I can confirm there was no third party involvement.
On 11 December 2009 Surrey Police received a report that two nine-year-old boys were walking at the Pirbright end of Connaught Road, when a vehicle pulled up alongside them. The vehicle’s passenger got hold of one of the boys by the sleeve, shouting “Oi” and then using an offensive word to the boys telling them to leave, which they did.
When spoken to by police the boys gave a brief account of the encounter, giving a description of a five-door light blue car which was ‘round’ rather than square. The passenger was a black male approximately 20-years-old, with a shaven head. He was clean shaven and wearing a black jumper. The boys could not give a description of the driver.
PC 2768 has spoken to PC Flint of MOD who confirmed that the only information he had received was that given to him by Surrey Police at the beginning of the investigation.

I joined Surrey Police in 2000 and have been fortunate to be involved in many different aspects of policing. I have taken part in response driving and responding to calls, along with dealing with volume crime and being part of proactive intelligence led team which included the town centre night patrols. I will continue to perform my duties as a tutor to new recruits as well as being an anti-terrorist search officer, being on call for any such occasion. I am looking forward to being part of the Brookwood, and Knaphill areas. I hope that I am a useful tool to combating your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
