Current Priorities

Issue

To reach out in the community to vulnerable members of the public to offer crime prevention and personal safety advice. To educate people about fraud through our fraud talks and reduce violence against women and girls through continued promotion of Street Safe.

For groups interested in booking a fraud talk please make contact with your neighbourhood policing team

We have circulated information regarding crime prevention to the local Talking Cafe or you can visit our enquiry office at the Minehead Police Station, Stephenson Road, Minehead.  The office is open Monday-Friday 10am-6pm

Action

We continue to attend the Talking Café once a month. If you miss us, please do not hesitate to visit our enquiry office. We have lots of crime prevention advice leaflets that we can give you to make you feel safer.

Issue

The police in Minehead continue to investigate drug activity within Minehead, including drug dealing.

Officers are carrying out high visibility patrols around the town and will conduct stop searches on those who are suspected to be involved in criminal activity with an aim to hold individuals who are involved, accountable and to disrupt activity

If you have any information which can assist the police then please contact us online or by calling 101. In case of emergencies, always call 999. Alternatively, information can be submitted anonymously via Crimestoppers.

We are grateful for all information from the community relating to drug offences. We conduct high visibility patrols in the area.
