Community Engagement

We are aware that the public want to see police more in the area, and we, as police officers and PCSO’s, want the same. Our team will be out and about in your local area and encourage you to stop and say hello. We are always happy to listen to your issues and see what we can do to help. You will also find us heavily involved in local community events in the Haverstoe, Humberston and New Waltham ward areas.

Please have a look at Humberside My Community Alert, this is a two-way community messaging system operated by Humberside Police. The system helps us to connect with our communities, it tells people what is happening in their area and allows them to respond directly with any information.

The system is designed to allow people who register to choose the type of information they would like to receive concerning crime and anti-social behaviour, witness appeals, crime prevention, community events and local good news. Subscribers will not be notified about every crime or incident that happens in their community. Our aim is to send relevant information where we believe to do so will reduce the opportunity for crime and anti-social behaviour or will help Humberside Police solve a crime.

We are invigorating our social media output and encourage you to follow our social media sites. Please see future engagement events on the event tab on the website- come and see us!

Officer leading and planning the priority is PCSO 7582 Jenny MCKIE.

SAC Offences including Burglary: There has been an increase in acquisitive crime around the area, this includes burglaries and attempted burglaries on residential properties.

We are aware, having spoken to residents, that they are not only concerned about their properties but also feel uneasy about the rise of crime in the area.

We are working closely with our partner agencies such as North East Lincolnshire Council and VANEL, to deal with this crime,

We do however ask for residents to remain vigilant in making sure their properties, including outbuildings such as sheds and garages, and vehicles are all locked and secured.

Remember don’t leave any valuables on view as many crimes are committed by opportunistic criminals who just go round an area trying door handles in case, they get lucky.

If you can afford it, consider buying an alarm, CCTV camera such as a Ring Doorbell, or even a full system.

We also encourage residents to call 101 or report to us online if they see any suspicious behaviour or have any crimes to report. If there are crimes ongoing, please call 999 so we can look to apprehend offenders.

Your local officers have been carrying out HumberTalking in the areas seeking boosting local confidence and feedback from residents.

Local officers will continue to gather and develop intelligence to identify who may be responsible.

We will work with the Rural Crime Team and Special Constabulary to carry out joint patrols in rural areas alongside your local officers who, when able, will change shifts to be able to accommodate this.

Officer leading the priority is PC 335 Dan MOSLEY.
