Safer Community Monitor
Broxbourne’s safer community monitor for the
fourth quarter of 2007/08, January to March 2008 has been
published. The monitor tracks the progress of the Broxbourne
Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (BCDRP) in improving
community safety in the Borough.
Between January and March 2008, the BCDRP
secured eight Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) and one
Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) against individuals committing
anti-social behaviour in the Borough. The Police also issued
104 nuisance ‘warning’ letters and 416 ‘stop and accounts’ were
issued by Police Community Support Officers. Two fixed
penalty notices were issued for sale of alcohol to minors.
This maintains the increased level of enforcement action being
taken to address anti-social behaviour. There was a
significant reduction in the level of anti-social behaviour
incidents reported to the police and Broxbourne Council compared
with the same period last year.
The Monitor outlines the Council’s decision to
consider funding further Police Community Support Officers
following a review of the value for money and effectiveness of the
current contribution made by the Council.
The Monitor includes details on the
forthcoming programme of meetings of the Borough’s local
neighbourhood forums and the boroughwide community safety
consultation forum meeting on Thursday 26 June 2008. There
are also details on police surgeries being held in the Borough to
the end of June, and the free burglary protection kits available
from Council one stop shops. In addition, the monitor
features information on more youth activities across the Borough
organised by the Council and partners.
Residents can report incidents of anti-social
behaviour to the Council by phoning 01992 785577 and incidents of
crime to the Police on 0845 330 0222. Alternatively they can
report incidents anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111. Copies of the new Monitor are available from the
Council’s one stop shops and on the Council’s website via the
community safety link on the front page.
