In addition we have also provided burglary safeguarding advice given at community events, as well as visible patrols in areas affected by burglaries to help reassure the public and limit further offences.

Concerns from the community around the increase in knife crimes

SNT have been attending shops within Spelthorne and getting the businesses to agree to selling knives to the appropriate procedures of trading standards. SNT have done and are still working on action planned days or are selling bladed articles to youths.
We are planning to do proactive operations to help increase and gather intel around concerns.
PCSO’s have been conducting patrols along the areas of Clare Road where they speak to local businesses and residents.

PCSO’ are still conducting weekly visits with management and providing them with reassurance. SNT are still providing high visibility patrols on foot and mobile and engaging with residents. All weekly visits and information gathered is reviewed by the Borough Commander.

Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG)
From our public engagements with the community, it’s been identified that it is early hours of the morning and the hours of evening that are the most concerning, whereby inappropriate or unpleasant behaviour occurs.
Many persons identified areas around the major transport links, such as Ashford Train Station and Sunbury Underpass.

Addressing these concerns, we have increased high visibility and plain clothes patrols in these hot spots at the times identified as particularly worrying. We will work with partner agencies such as Spelthorne Borough Council and British Transport Police to find a long term solution to improve the safety in these areas.

We organise regular public engagement events and meetings to raise the public’s awareness of Violence Against Women and Girls and to give everyone an opportunity to talk to us about anything of concern.

PUBWATCH. We work at with licenced premises in Spelthorne to tackle issues such as drink spiking and alcohol related ASB towards women.

We monitor know offenders in the community and regularly assess any risk to the public. We take action as soon as it is required to protect the public.
