Gillingham Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

Gillingham Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

 #GILLINGHAMNPT

This week the team have been out attending local retailers on preventative patrol for shoplifting offences as part of the Safer Business Action Week. Both Ash and Vicky have been attending shops in Gillingham and the surrounding villages, speaking to them about their recent reports, building intelligence pictures around local offenders and the incidents. 

We have been encouraging the employees to use our new online way of reporting, which helps officers on the ground to deal with repeat offenders appropriately.

The team have also been dealing with other incidents, such as neighbour disputes and burglaries where interviews have taken place, and positive outcomes will be coming in the form of Community Resolutions, where appropriate actions will follow. 

The team have also been helping to dela with safeguarding concerns following a report of fraud, where the investigation continues and we are helping with the wrap around care. PC Brad will continue with the investigation over the next few weeks, working with other agencies and the Fraud Department within Dorset Police. 

PCSO Vicky spoke to lots of people who visited her at the Mobile Police Station, addressing concerns and subsequently inputting intelligence for future use. 

Have a safe weekend, and make sure we drive to the conditions of the road.
