from your local neighbourhood policing inspector,<br />

Chris Pearson....<br />

It’s been a busy few weeks and<br />

as ever I’ve got a few updates to<br />

pass on.<br />

First up, I’m pleased to report that<br />

PC 2358 Mark Szeremeta has<br />

joined the Gedling Neighbourhood<br />

team as an additional officer. Mark<br />

will be based at Carlton and is a<br />

welcome addition to the team.<br />

Last month the force supported the<br />

national knife crime week of action<br />

known as ‘Operation Sceptre’.<br />

The Gedling neighbourhood team<br />

and colleagues from across the<br />

force were involved in a number<br />

of proactive activities to try and<br />

prevent knife crime. A full update<br />

on the search can be found here:<br />

https://www.nottinghamshire.<br />

police.uk/news-article/police-andcouncil-officers-carry-out-weaponssweep-carlton<br />

We also visited a number of<br />

schools across Gedling Borough<br />

to provide an educational input<br />

around knife crime which was well<br />

received by our local schools. The<br />

force also carried out another<br />

knife amnesty with the support<br />

of Gedling Borough Council.<br />

A number of unwanted knives<br />

were handed in and will now be<br />

destroyed.<br />

September saw a slight decrease<br />

in overall reported burglary<br />

compared to August this year with<br />

5 less offences. However, year<br />

to date burglary continues to be<br />

an issue. Offenders have mostly<br />

gained entry by damaging windows<br />

or doors and have targeted<br />

properties whilst the occupants<br />

have been away on holiday. I<br />

would continue to ask that any<br />

suspicious incidents are reported<br />

to us as this may prevent further<br />

offences from taking place. If you<br />

are planning on leaving your home<br />

unoccupied and need advice on<br />

security then please contact us.<br />

Information can also be found on<br />

our website.<br />

In the last month I have attended<br />

three community meetings with a<br />

partnership meeting in Netherfield,<br />

a Neighbourhood Watch meeting in<br />

Daybrook and a visit to Calverton<br />

Parish Council. I gave some<br />

updates around our policing<br />

activity across the area and the<br />

work we are doing to reduce some<br />

of the communities concerns.<br />

Throughout the last few months<br />

PCSO Trev Parkinson, based at<br />

Carlton, has been working to<br />

improve our ‘Community Road<br />

Safety’ scheme. Trev has worked<br />

to identify, recruit and train new<br />

volunteers. We are aiming to<br />

expand this work across Gedling<br />

and recruit more volunteers. My<br />

thanks to the individuals who have<br />

given up their personal time to<br />

support this initiative.
