Speeding Enforcement

Our Local Community Policing Team have planned an initiative in the area during the week beginning 22 April, to target speeding motorists.  The initiative involves officers spending 30-40 minutes on the routes of community concern.

Sergeant Lewis-Dalby is keen to establish those roads in the Community Council area where there are chronic problems and those on which residents believe we may have an issue and has asked the Community Council for a list of suitable roads in our area.

If you have concerns about speeding in your street or if you can suggest locations where there is a problem of persistant speeding by motorists please drop us an email and we will add it to the list for Sergeant Lewis-Dalby.

The nature of the initiative means that patrols will be deployed in the policing area, certain days will be focused on particular areas.  The team are planning on being in the Braeside and Mannofield Community Council area on 24th April between 1400 - 2300.

Police Report - March 2019

Our Local Policing Team have circulated the following information:-

Community Policing Priorities
Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder: 
Although we have had no reports of off road motor cycles on the Deeside Railway line they have been seen in other local areas, please can you call us at the time you see them with a description of the bike and the what the rider was wearing, calling us saying you saw three motor cycles a couple of hours ago with no description is of little practicable use. There have been no reported vandalisms, assaults or disorder during this period.

Acquisitive Crime:

There has been a report of a sneak in theft to an insecure house in which money a personal items were stolen and a housebreaking to a local sporting premises in which entry was forced overnight and money taken. Unusually a large chimney pot planter taken from a garden overnight this would not have been easy to accomplish. Should you see someone hanging about and think it’s not quite right please call us.

Road Safety & Road Crime:
In response to your requests Officers will be taking a robust approach balancing education with enforcement to ensure the relatively small minority who are responsible for committing offences and antisocial behaviour with vehicles are held accountable for their actions.  We will be working with partners and making use of antisocial behaviour legislation.  Residents in the areas affected by antisocial driving are encouraged to contact Police on 101 at the time to report incidents in order for us to take positive action.

Community Engagement & Reassurance
Spring is a time for change in many respects and is never better signalled with the clocks going forward this weekend. Our recent emphasis has been in you helping us manage risk for our young people and our seniors, we would like to take a little time to be selfish and think of yourselves.

Please before everything comes into bud and leaf have a look around your garden along the path you walk the dog or on the way you drive to work and school is there something lying there that should be removed some rubbish or refuse, contact ACC here https://integration.aberdeencity.gov.uk/en/service/flytipping_report

Stand back for a moment and think if you had to break into your neighbour’s house and steal his car how would you do it? It’s often easier to be critically objective of someone else’s situation than your own but would the same method apply to you? Is there something which would give easy access to your property? Is there something which because of the many new developments would make a good place to hide or just hang out?

If you need assistance in this we are exactly the right people to contact for a Home security survey. AiryhallBroomhillGarthdeeCPT@Scotland.pnn.police.uk 

I frequently mention at local meetings we are an information hungry organisation and we thrive on what you tell us, please think of the above and if you have any concerns, thoughts, queries or question let us know. AiryhallBroomhillGarthdeeCPT@Scotland.pnn.police.uk

I would also invite you to let us know where you think we can assist your community over the summer months. Whilst many of the things that annoy people are just that annoyances and not for the Police many aren’t. I would like you to think of the things you think we should know, whether it be off road bikes, youth disturbance, speeding, underage drinking, please don’t always assume someone else has told us we would rather hear about something seven times than not at all.

We, your local policing team are driven by what you tell us, so please take this opportunity to contact us AiryhallBroomhillGarthdeeCPT@Scotland.pnn.police.uk and let us know. You might be surprised that we are addressing the issues you present and that your information will make our response that little bit more effective in meeting local needs.

You can no doubt sense I am pushing our Local CPT Email inboxes, for you in our area we are trying to make them the equivalent of the informal chat over a garden fence, they are not for ongoing crimes but they absolutely are for you to tell us everything else.

What to know more about how we measure up, this is where to find out.
