Welcome to the Braintree district web page.

District Commander update
I have taken over the role of District Commander for Uttlesford
and Braintree districts and am very proud to have the opportunity
to serve the public of both areas.

Above: Chief Insp Nick Lee
The Uttlesford and Braintree districts are low crime areas
compared to other similar areas in the country. This is great news
but it’s not a reason to become complacent. I will work with the
whole community and the Community Safety Partnership to keep things
this way and make the area even safer for us all.
My priorities are reducing serious crime such as house burglaries
and violent assaults that seriously affect people’s lives. I intend
to do this my focusing on the small number of offenders in our
communities that are responsible for a large amount of
offences.
I will also target anti-social behavior especially where it causes
significant disruption to the community. I would welcome your
support in the fight against crime and anti-social behavior. You
can do this by joining Neighborhood Watch, becoming a Special
Constable or calling us and passing on any information you might
have.
Your policing team and I are working hard to improve the service we
deliver to you. Policing is a difficult and complex job and like
other walks of life we sometimes do not get things right. If
you are concerned about the quality of service you have received
from us or have any suggestions on how we can improve please
contact me or my team at Braintree police station.
Defeating criminals is too important to be left to the police alone
and I would like the whole community to join me.
