District Commander update
I am immensely proud to have the opportunity to serve the
community as Chelmsford District Commander.

By: Chief Insp Steve Ditchburn
I have spent the last 16 months working as the District
Commander at Maldon, which was hugely rewarding, and I’m hoping
that much of what I’ve learnt will also prove valuable in policing
Chelmsford.
I have spent a lot of my time working alongside the community
and partner agencies to continue to reduce crime and anti-social
behaviour and I will continue to do so at Chelmsford.
I am committed to improving the standard of service Essex Police
delivers to all members of the public and have made this a priority
for my team. We have made a promise to our community through the
Essex Police Service Standards and we will ensure that we deliver
on this promise.
Your policing team and I are working hard to improve the service
we deliver to you and to meet all the standards set out within our
Service Standards. 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 the team direct on the phone numbers
listed on this website.
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
- Essex Police and its partner
agencies need the support of the public and therefore I look
forward to working with you in 2012 and beyond, to help make sure
that the Chelmsford district remains a great place to live, work
and visit.
Without your help we can only achieve so much so I ask you, as a
member of this community, to help us drive up the quality of life
by driving out those that would lower it.
As a member of the Chelmsford district community please get
involved. Join neighbourhood watch, be a volunteer assistant at
your local police station, join the Special Constabulary or simply
contact us directly or via Crimestoppers (0800 555 111 or visit
www.crimestoppers-uk.org).
