New Neighbourhood Policing Model To hear a presentation on the New Neighbourhood Policing Model. Contact: C Deeth Minutes: By means of a presentation by Chief Inspector Paul Rogerson (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book), the Panel were appraised of the local policing profile for Cambridgeshire Constabulary.
The Panel were advised that Cambridgeshire Constabulary had split into command units allowing for a leaner and more efficient service. Neighbourhood Policing was discussed with Councillors signposted on best contacts to ensure effective and swift handling of enquiries.
Following a question from Councillors, Chief Inspector Rogerson advised that issues should be reported online wherever possible to allow for effective and targeted response. The Panel were also advised that date is mapped and analysed to highlight where preventative work and intervention is required to minimise and prevent future issues. Police use local knowledge as well as working with other local authorities and agencies to identify areas and individuals where intervention would be beneficial.
Councillors were advised that Huntingdonshire District Council takes the lead when dealing with fly tipping crimes but that they work collaboratively with the police and Environment Agency for criminal investigations.
Councillors were advised that 89 new police officers have been recruited for Cambridgeshire and reassured that special constables as well as volunteers were utilised wherever possible. It was also noted that whilst this uplift is beneficial to the force, more administrative support is also required.
