http://www.derbyshire.police.uk/My-Local-Police/North-Division/North-East-LPU/Eckington/Eckington.aspxThis Safer Neighbourhood area covers the town of Eckington, 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Chesterfield and 8.5 miles (14 km) southeast of Sheffield on the border with South Yorkshire. It belongs to the North East Local Policing Unit.
Eckington is a town that grew mainly as a result of the now greatly diminished mining industry, with a population in excess of 11 thousand people. The town has several active residents groups and parish council, with a range of schools from infant to a sixth form college.
Current Priorities
Issue
1. Drug use around Eckington
2. Acquisitive Crime
3. ASB patrols around new and existing recreation areas
Action
1: Working with local residents and partner agencies to identify areas of concern. This can be done via Street Meets and Community Catchups. Plain clothed patrol operations to identify dealers, carrying out stop searches wherever proportionate to do so. Develop intelligence and carry out drugs warrants in the local area.
2: A mixture of high visibility and plain clothes patrols in hot spot locations. Regularly review crime trend information and intelligence to identify hot spot locations and potential suspects. Work with partners to prioritise community messaging and crime prevention advice.
3: Street Meets in specific locations reported to us and to be highly visible, engaging with local Community Speedwatch Groups to help identify vehicles causing ASB. Engage with Rykneld Homes to help identify perps to ensure tenancy Warnings / CPW CPN'S are issued.
