Chichester Neighbourhood Policing Teams are continually seeking ways to improve how we engage with the community and make ourselves identifiable, accessible and responsive to your needs and concerns. We introduced Neighbourhood Management Panels in September 2008 and will continue to develop and enhance them during 2009. We have committed to expanding this concept with the formation of twenty four panels within Chichester District consisting of local persons representative of the community in which they live. This approach will allow you the community to choose your own priorities which the police and partner agencies will work together on to solve. Examples of priorities already set by existing panels within the district are involve issues such as speeding in villages and anti social behaviour in set locations to name but a few. Interested in becoming involved in a Neighbourhood Panel for your area? or if you would simply like further information please contact myself either by e mail or leave me a message on my voicemail (Tel 0845 60 70 999 Extn: 27372) and I will happily get back to you. |

Jan 24th 2009. Thefts of plants or gardening equipment It has now come to that time of the year when orders are being prepared for bringing on prior to delivery and this stock is now at it's most vulnerable stage. Stock replacement values are quadrupled when taking into consideration buying in new plants, additional labour costs and penalty charges for late delivery to customers. |

Karen says: I have been a Police Community Support Officer since October 2008. Prior to joining Sussex Police Force I worked in the education sector helping International students find suitable courses. I enjoy working as part of a team and in a varied, challenging and unpredictable environment. I felt that being a PCSO could fulfil this as I interact with the public in a variety of situations and everyday brings a new challenge. |

Dec 9th A Message from PCSO Ives |
|
In the early morning of 22nd November 20008 Police in Chichester received several reports of a group of young persons throwing rocks or stones from a bridge above the A27 Chichester by-pass and from the dual carriageway itself towards passing motorists. This was believed to be around the area of the Broad Road bridge in between Fishbourne roundabout and Havant. Police attended and searched the area with a negative result. Several vehicles, including a police vehicle sustained damage. |

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH AND POLICING |
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH - Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives ever. It is not just about reducing burglary figures, it's also about creating communities who care. It brings local people together and can make a real contribution to improving their lives. Neighbourhood Watch is a method of developing close liaison between households in a neighbourhood and the police. The aims are to help people protect themselves and their properties and to reduce the fear of crime by improved home security, greater vigilance, fast and accurate reporting of suspicious incidents to the police and fostering a community spirit. Householders are the ‘eyes and ears' of the community and they usually know who and what people and vehicles belong in their road. All they need to do is to be reactive as to what is occurring. 0845 60 70 999 (or e-mail contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk ) - NON EMERGENCY You can use this telephone number to contact Sussex Police in all other situations. Switchboard operators answer these calls in Lewes and transfer you to the appropriate person. You will either be transferred to the local police station or the Call Handling Centre depending upon the nature of your enquiry. You should use this number when: |

Neighbourhood Watch
There are only 82 households that belong to Neighbourhood Watch in Chidham. With a population of nearly 1,000 people it is not well represented. We are always looking to increase the membership of Neighbourhood Watch in the area and would like to hear from anyone who is interested. Neighbourhood Watch is all about:
- Knowing when your neighbours are out so you can keep an ‘eye’ out for them.
- Getting to know who and what vehicles belong in the road
- Challenging strangers in the road eg ‘can I help you?’ or ‘were you looking for someone?’
- Taking vehicle numbers belonging to ‘suspect’ callers
- Sharing telephone numbers in order to be able to call each other if a situation arises
- Telephoning the police about incidents that occur
- If non-urgent by calling 0845 60 70 999 or by emailing contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk
- If urgent by calling 999
- Reporting all incidents as this paints a picture for the police as to where problems are
If you are interested or would like more information please call the Neighbourhood Watch office at Chichester Police Station on 01243 784439.

Neighbourhood Watch Notice The Police and Trading Standards would like to remind everybody of the dangers posed by doorstep callers. Recent examples have included:
Householders are reminded to consider very carefully before purchasing services from unsolicited callers. Work may be badly completed, the price may be increased unexpectedly and it may be impossible to trace the service provider when problems occur. There is also the potential for fraud or distraction burglary. Use the doorstoppers code:
If you are wishing to sell articles, use recommended reputable traceable sources only. Obtain several quotes and if the dealer needs to attend your property try and have a friend or neighbour present when the valuation occurs. Do not agree to a doorstep sale on the spur of the moment. |
| THE KEEPSAFE SCHEME It’s almost ten years since Chichester Police and the Chichester District Council joined together to help make the homes of vulnerable people more secure. Anyone who is receiving one of the means tested benefits can use the service. The scheme known as ‘KEEPSAFE’ has since provided free locks and security advice to nearly 900 people living in the Chichester district and this figure continues to grow. The scheme uses the ‘handy person’ from one of the regions largest charities, Southern Focus Trust, to carry out the work on their behalf. The ‘KEEPSAFE’ scheme has made the lives of many vulnerable residents feel more comfortable and secure in their own homes by reducing people’s fear of crime. Phil Marten, Crime Prevention Co-ordinator at Chichester Police Station, who operates the scheme said, “I see incidents of burglary where the burglar has found it very easy to get in. With our scheme we can get the qualified and experienced Southern Focus Trust ‘handyperson’ to visit and give advice on security and improve door and window security.” If you would like any further information on this service please telephone Phil Marten on 01243 784439 or if you wish to use this service please call Chichester Careline on 0845 6015568.

‘DATA’ LINK - HAS YOUR FRIDGE GOT THE MESSAGE? What is Data Link? It is a voluntary scheme for anyone living at home who might be reassured to know that essential information would be readily available to the Emergency Services, should they suffer an accident or sudden illness. The scheme ensures that vital information is available not only to identify them but to advise of relevant illnesses, allergies, medication and contact address. How does the scheme work? Your details are stored in a clearly labelled plastic container, which is kept in the fridge. Two matching labels, known to the Emergency Services and other care agencies are displayed in the house, one on the outside of the fridge and the other on the inside (placed so it is not visible from outside) of the front door. What do you have to do? Complete the supplied form, fold it and put it in the capsule and then place it in the door compartment of the fridge. Where can I obtain the capsule, stickers and form? Police Stations will be a able to supply you with these items. Back to top |
