Basildon District

Welcome to the Basildon district web page.

District commander update

Working together with partners within the Basildon Crime and Disorder Partnership, we have achieved significant improvements in reducing crime.

Between April 2006 and March 2009, crime fell by 11.2% which in real terms means 1809 fewer people experienced crime.

This year we have reduced crime even further by 7.7%, which again means 700 fewer victims of crime. Incidents of anti-social behaviour have also fallen by 6.8% which equates to 475 fewer incidents.

However we are clear that behind each statistic is a person who has suffered the impact of a crime and behind them, family and friends who also feel the impact.

We are therefore keen to ensure those who commit crime are caught and convicted and are also looking at how to deter and prevent crime.

Essex and Basildon are low crime areas so we need to find ways of directing resources at those measures which not only reduce crime but make you feel safer too.

The way in which we deliver our policing service is through our Neighbourhood Policing Teams, dedicated to:

• Improving our visibility and reducing the fear of crime
  
  
• Gaining the trust and confidence of the local community
  
  
• Tackling the causes and effects of crime and anti-social behaviour
  
  
• Being identifiable and known within the local community
  
  
• Tackling crime through targeting repeat offenders
  
  
• Building on successful local partnerships within the community to solve problems
