Have your say about policing in your area;
University Campus Suffolk (UCS) is working with police in Norfolk and Suffolk to understand people’s perceptions of crime, anti-social behaviour and local policing services in their area.
The online Community Safety Survey started on Thursday 2 July 2015 and will be a pivotal part of research led by UCS. It asks the public about their opinions on crime and anti-social behaviour, whether they have witnessed this in their local area and their experiences of encounters with the police.
The results will feed into change programmes currently underway in both counties to identify where cost savings can be made in light of government cuts to policing budgets. It is part of an approach called Evidence Based Policing (EBP) that is being adopted by both police forces as a way of identifying the best way to deliver policing to suit the needs of today’s communities.
This research is part of ‘the Better Policing Collaborative’, a multi university project which is being led by the University of Nottingham. There are seven projects running over three years; UCS will be looking into two of these, the first of which focusses on community safety, followed by the introduction of Masters and short courses in Evidence Based Policing.
More information about the survey can be found on the UCS website:www.ucs.ac.uk/communitysafetysurvey

Concerned about dog fouling?
Three individuals were fined after a prosecution brought by Great Yarmouth Borough Council for not clearing up after their dogs last week.
If you witness anyone not clearing up they can be reported on 01493 846478.
The Environmental Rangers will be looking for strong evidence to enable a prosecution, and would like you to provide a description of the dog and the owner, the location where the offence took place and also the date and time it occurred.

Policing update;
The following is a local policing update for the Rural Flegg Villages neighbourhood
Weekly crime summary 14 – 20 October 2015
We would like to remind residents that with Halloween soon approaching there are a few safety steps that can be taken, whether you are staying in and do not wish to be called upon or if your children are taking part in ‘Trick and Treating’.
· ‘Trick and Treat not welcome’ posters will soon be available from Great Yarmouth Police Station’s front office. These are for residents who do not wish to be called upon during the evening of Halloween. They can be easily displayed in a front window to discourage Trick and Treating. Please call 101 and ask for a poster to be dropped off to you or visit the desk at Yarmouth Police Station to pick one up.
· If you have persistent callers or any anti-social behaviour towards you or your property during Halloween please call 101 to report it or 999 if you are in fear and believe a crime is being committed.
· If you can, take time to check on vulnerable neighbours and relatives.
· If your children are taking part in Trick and Treating please reinforce some guidelines for calling at neighbouring addresses:
· Please do not allow children to call at homes which are displaying ‘Trick or Treat not welcome’ posters
· Please do not allow children to call at sheltered housing complexes or care homes
· Please remind children that throwing eggs and flour at property is not permitted and could result in calls to police for criminal damage or anti-social behaviour
· Please accompany young children
· Please remind children not to enter the homes of strangers even if invited to
· Remind children of road safety; the clocks go back on October 25 so the evenings will be darker
Local shops will be encouraged not to sell eggs and flour to children in the run up to Halloween and community officers will be patrolling locally during the evening.
