Basildon District
Welcome to the Basildon district web page.
District commander update
Above: Chief Insp Glen PavelinI am very pleased to be appointed as the district commander for
the Basildon district. I have previously served in a variety of
uniformed roles across Central Division, which covers Chelmsford,
Uttlesford, Braintree and Maldon, and more recently at police
headquarters.
I am passionate about Neighbourhood Policing, as most of my
service has been spent in operational roles serving the public by
working in partnership with other agencies and the community to
address local policing issues. I look forward to driving a
motivated and capable team of officers and build upon an array of
past successes as we move into 2012.
Basildon is a very diverse district, with a booming town and
night-time economy, as well as having beautiful places to visit
like Wat Tyler and Lake Meadows. Coming into 2012, Basildon
is also lucky to have the new sporting village, which will be used
as an official training ground for the 2012 Olympics Games.
With this diversity brings its own unique policing challenges,
but I can assure you we will embrace the challenges ahead and we
will work tirelessly to reduce crime, reassure the public and bring
offenders to justice. I will ensure that we listen to your concerns
and if you call us, that we will respond appropriately.
We will communicate with victims, partners and the wider
community to reassure and update. We will be visible within the
community and develop relationships with all groups within the
community.
I would ask that you join us as we continue to tackle crime and
anti-social behaviour within your area. Please report suspicious
behaviour, tell us about those who effect your quality of life and
impart information that will assist us in bring criminals to
justice. You can do this by contacting the local officers for your
area, stopping and speaking with one of the team out on patrol or
by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
