Importance of Reporting

Please can it be circulated that all suspicious activity & incidents are reported to the police.

The highlighted section at the top of this report provides the various ways this can be done.

I appreciate that people think that they don’t want to “bother” the police or “nothing will be done anyway”. However, as I mentioned when speaking to people face to face the reports enable resources to be allocated accordingly and if nothing gets reported nothing can be done.

Sometimes lines of enquiry are limited but all reports can be used to “build a picture” of activity in the area and the smallest report may lead to a crime being solved or prevented.
