Policing And Crime Statistics
The Parish Council try to have Police Officers give reports to our meetings when they are availiable.
We have a good working relationship with them and we will raise any residents concerns with them. WE ARE INFORMED BY OFFICERS THAT WE ARE A LOW RISK AREA
We all know that crimes are taking place in Allerton Bywater, as your Councillors we hear time and time again from residents that they have suffered from crime.
We always ask the same question "have you reported it to the Police" and quite often we get the same answer "whats the point, they will do nothing only give you a crime number".
Please remember that Officers are just as frustrated as we are that there are fewer and fewer Officers to do the same job!
this is our advice:-
You should always report crime to the Police, because all reports are logged and the Police build up a crime picture of our area, if people can't be bothered to report crime then the statistics are low and we are classed as a low crime area so resources are sent to other areas.
It’s up to you!!
