District Commander's message: Chief Inspector Steve Curry

As we start a new policing year, I am determined that we will again achieve reductions in house burglary, vehicle crime and violent crime and build on the previous year's achievements. We will continue to target those individuals who present the greatest risk to community safety across all of the neighbourhoods in Crawley to ensure that they are held to account. As a further priority, we will also be working with partners in the Safer Crawley Partnership to enhance our response to dealing with those individuals who persistently cause anti-social behaviour with complete disregard for those who are affected.

I have said before that I remain consistently impressed with the strength of partnerships in Crawley which have contributed to making the town a safer place. We are fortunate to have a very supportive and active Neighbourhood Watch scheme which has played an integral part in cutting crime and making people feel safer in recent years. Over the next year I would urge everyone, who isn't a member of a scheme, to consider joining one or even starting one up; there are lots of people, including my officers, who will be very willing to provide guidance and support.

I recently spoke to a lady from Northgate at a public meeting and she told me that she wanted to work with neighbourhood policing team officers and address the issue of motorists speeding in her road. Engagement with other residents indicated that there was a strong level of concern over this issue and a real desire to tackle this priority. The lady galvanised others in to action forming a local group, "Northgate Matters" and co-ordinated numerous resident volunteers who have now received training in community speedwatch. The scheme is up and running and a clear message is now being sent to motorists who infringe speed limits. Those individuals who persistently break the law and endanger other road users must expect to be dealt with in the future and my message is 'Watch out! This is an excellent example of community orientated problem solving where residents have highlighted a local problem and collaborated with police to take action and do something about it.

Your local policing team produces monthly neighbourhood newsletters to keep residents informed of key issues and updated on action which has been taken. If you would like to receive a newsletter, please contact your local officer who will be very pleased to arrange it.　 　　　　　　　

I am always interested to hear from members of the public about the quality of service that they have received particularly if there are things that we can learn from. If you would like to contact me, please email me at steve.curry@sussex.pnn.police.uk or write to me at Crawley Police Station.
