Current Priorities

Issue

Tackling youth-related anti-social behaviour with particular focus on Dereham and Thetford

Action

Lots of evening patrols across hot spot areas and quick action after any ASB reports. Engagement with schools and local groups.

Issue

Tackling rural crime (including acquisitive crime) across Breckland (Retained again from May 2025)

Action

A farms list has been created by the local team, between us we have been out patrolling the farms / ticking them off the list.
We have also been leaving local contact details & obtaining Farmer / Gamekeeper details from visited farms.
Hopefully this will help going forward with additional issues such as farmers blocking tracks for potential rave sites / unveiling unknown cut through tracks which rural crime offenders may look to use.
A couple of farms have shown interest in crime prevention surveys being completed, we are just awaiting confirmation from them.
