…the drink drive campaign. And
reassurance that police take drink and drug driving seriously over the
festive period.
Today, December 1, we launch the 12 crimes of Christmas – our seasonal
campaign which offers help, guidance and advice on how to stay safe this
Christmas.
We kick off with our annual drink drive campaign – a warning message to
drivers to think of the consequences of drink or drug-driving. Our
colleagues in traffic will be out in force to clamp down on anyone caught
over the limit on our roads.
Getting behind a wheel whilst under the influence of drink or drugs puts
yourself, and other road users, in danger. It can wreck lives and we will
not tolerate such behaviour. Our message is clear. Drivers caught drink or
drug-driving will lose their licence or even face a prison sentence. With
money tight and jobs at a premium, can you really afford to put your
livelihood at risk?
The drink drive campaign runs from today (December 1) until January 1.
Drivers could be breathalysed at a number of stop checks which will be
set-up across the county over the coming weeks.
In the run up to the festive season we’ll be opening a new window of crime
prevention advice to ensure Cambridgeshire’s crooks don’t cash in this
Christmas. Visit our website
www.cambs.police.uk for more details
‘Tis the season to be jolly, but not merry behind the wheel.
Merry Christmas

Two protests will take place in
Peterborough city centre by the English Defence League (EDL) and
Peterborough Trades Union Council (TUC) on December 11, 2010.
Deputy Divisional Commander Paul Fullwood and Peterborough City Council’s
Director or Operations, Paul Phillipson have made a short YouTube film
explaining where and when EDL and TUC will hold separate protests.
We recognise that there is concern about these protests and people are
worried about the impact it may have on them as individuals and the wider
community. We do want to listen to and understand those concerns and we are
working with many different community leaders, organisations, groups and
individuals within Peterborough to address them.
Police and the city council are also working closely with schools,
multi-faith groups, local businesses, residents and shoppers to understand
the issues and concerns to ensure that a peaceful protest can go ahead with
minimal disruption to the city.
If you have any concerns please contact Peterborough City Centre
Neighbourhood Policing Team on 0345 456 456 4 or email the multi-agency
communications group on
macg@cambs.pnn.police.uk which is monitored by ourselves and
Peterborough City Council. For more information on the protests visit our
website
www.cambs.police.uk.
You can contact your neighbourhood policing team directly by replying to
this email. We welcome your feedback and we will aim to get back to you as
soon as possible. Please be aware that responses may take longer at times of
high demand. Alternatively, you can ring your neighbourhood team on 0345 456
456 4.
In an emergency, when a life is in danger or there is a risk of violence or
serious injury or when a serious crime is being committed please call 999.

EDL
Police have agreed the route of
the EDL (English Defence League) protest on December 11 in Peterborough.
The decision was made in consultation with Peterborough City Council, local
community representatives, local business representatives and follows
negotiations with the EDL.
The EDL march will start at 1pm
on London Road, close to Peterborough United Football Club and proceed over
Town Bridge, past Bridge Street Police Station and then congregate on Lower
Bridge Street Peterborough Magistrates Court.
Temporary road closures will be
applied for on London Road and Town Bridge while the protest takes place.
Superintendent Paul Fullwood
said: "We have worked hard to ensure we identified a location which would
balance the concerns of local people and businesses in Peterborough while
responding to the EDL's requests.
"We decided on this location
because it provided a central location for the EDL while allowing the
majority of businesses in the city to continue as usual. "We
understand that for businesses in the Rivergate area there will be an impact
during the protest and we are working with those business owners, alongside
the council, to minimise this and look at alternative ways of drawing in
business over the weekend.
"At this stage we cannot confirm
numbers likely to attend but hope to be able to provide some indication as
negotiations between the police and EDL continue. As and when we have
further informationwe will share this with the public through our various
established links with the community.
"As public authorities, the
Constabulary and Peterborough City Council have a duty to support and
facilitate people's right to peaceful protest. Key to hat process is
ensuring we deal with any concerns people may have.
"A multi-agency community group,
involving police and the city council, has been set up to ensure the
community are kept updated on information about the process and deal with
any community concerns. Members of the public with questions can email
the group at macg@cambs.pnn.police
to receive feedback and further information.
Paul Phillipson, Executive
Director of Operations, said: "The Local Authority are fully supporting the
police on ensuring that this demonstration causes the minimum disruption to
the people of Peterborough.
"We are working closely with our
schools, youth groups, youth workers and educational contacts across the
city to ensure that our youth communities understand and are fully aware of
what is taking place. This is to ensure that there are no
misunderstanding and the messages are clear and unbiased in the same way
that we have presented to yourselves.
"There is considerable work
taking place with the Muslim Community Reference Group and the briefing of
more than 70 attendees has already taken place and included an equivalent
leader from Leicester so that we can all learn from their experience.
We are working with all faith groups across the city and are looking to
present two events to celebrate the cohesion peace and harmony that the city
enjoys both prior to the march and directly after the march, further details
of these will be released once we have concluded.

The Safer
Peterborough Partnership is looking for volunteers to take part in
SpeedWatch. Speedwatch allows the public to get actively involved in
monitoring the speeds of vehicles travelling through their neighbourhood.
The scheme is run by Cambridgeshire Constabulary alongside the
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Road Safety Partnership.
All volunteers are given full training to use speed indicator devices and
provided with safety equipment. The registered owner of any vehicle seen
exceeding the speed limit is sent an advisory letter from their local
neighbourhood policing team, explaining that speeding is unacceptable in the
local community.
Speedwatch is not an enforcement tool but about educating motorists and
raising awareness of the dangers speeding. The scheme is just one part of
the ongoing work being carried out to target speeding.
If you are interested in becoming a Speedwatch volunteer, please phone the
council on 01733 747474 and ask for the Neighbourhood Officer for the area
you live in or the Road Safety Team.
Also, we are having quite a few
vandalism/criminal damage issues in allotments around the City and I would
ask that everyone be vigilant and report anything at all suspicious to our
Control room on 0345 456 456 4.

Dear e-cops
Member,
Following a number of burglaries in Berkeley Road, Wilton Drive, Bickleigh
Walk, Meynell Walk and Bramall Court, please find below some crime
prevention advice. It's worth noting that in all four cases access to these
houses was gained via rear doors or patio doors and some involved a level of
insecurity.
Please be aware that the burglars have shown particular interest in
jewellery, therefore I would kindly request that you consider hiding such
items in unusual places.
Residents are advised to take the following precautions:
*Always keep doors and windows closed and locked or in a ventilated but
locked position, even when you are inside the house. Always check and lock
doors with a key - never assume that just pushing up an internal handle will
lock the door.
*Remove keys from window and door locks, but keep them in a familiar and
safe place where all members of the family know where to find them in the
event of an emergency.
*Never leave items such as keys, bags and money on show through a window, as
these can prove a real temptation for an opportunist burglar.
*Consider the position of key racks or shelves next to a door and ensure
that they cannot be reached through the letter box.
*Use timer switches to turn on lights and radios when you are going to be
away from your house at dusk.
*Consider the use of lights at the front and rear of your property that are
activated when someone approaches.
*Consider the use of bolts and padlocks on side gates. Place the bolts at
the top, middle and bottom of the gate, as just a top bolt might be easy to
reach and open.
*Consider chaining together all high value items stored in outbuildings, as
this will make it harder for them to be removed. Also consider the use of a
wireless alarm or link your shed or garage into an existing home intruder
alarm system.
*Consider property marking your valuable and sentimental personal
possessions with liquid DNA kits such as Smartwater, SelectaDNA or with an
engraving kit for items such as tools and cycles.
*A visible intruder alarm box can prove to be one of the biggest deterrents
to an opportunist burglar, so consider installing a DIY or supplier
installed system.
For more information on how to secure your home and property log onto the
Home Office website -
www.homeoffice.gov.uk, which also has a three minute test that will
score your level of protection and offer appropriate advice.
Alternatively, please log onto the Cambridgeshire Constabulary website -
www.cambs.police.uk or the Crime Reduction Website -
www.crimereduction.gov.uk.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0845 456 456 4 or
Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Kind regards,
PCSO Ronnie Durrell

As Bonfire night
approaches we’d like remind people we will not tolerate the misuse of
fireworks in the days before and after November 5.
We would like to avoid any incidents of anti-social behaviour and those
offenders could face an on-the-spot fine of £80.
We have the power to stop and search anyone we think may be in unlawful
possession of fireworks.
Remember:
*It is an offence for anyone under 18 to buy fireworks, or to sell fireworks
to them.
*It is an offence for anyone under 18 to be in possession of a firework in a
public place.
*It is an offence to throw a firework in, or into, a street or public place.
*Retailers have to be licensed to sell fireworks.
*There are curfews as to when fireworks may be used. This is normally
between 11pm and 7am, although this is extended on November 5.
In the run up to November 5 we will be carrying out extra high visibility
patrols across the city to enforce legislation that governs the use of
fireworks and provide reassurance for residents.
We have also been visiting schools in the area over the past few weeks
giving out personal safety advice and lessons on anti-social behaviour over
the fireworks period.
We want everyone to enjoy themselves this bonfire night but it is important
people use fireworks responsibly for the safety of themselves and others.
If you have any issues this bonfire night please contact us on 0345 456 456
4 or in an emergency dial 999.
It would be really helpful if you could put a copy of our poster up in your
workplace or local community centre. You can download a copy at -
