District commander update

It give me great pleasure to return to my 'home town' as District Commander having served throughout Essex in a variety of different roles throughout my twenty years of service.  This is my third spell within Eastern Division, the last one being as a Detective Inspector on CID up until April of this year.   
 
I am well aware of the excellent joint partnership working that has and is continuing to take place throughout the district and I intend to ensure that this momentum continues.  There are police and multi agency staff working to ensure community policing is an integral part of this division's policing strategy.  I would encourage anyone with information about crime in their area to contact their local NSO's on the numbers listed on this website, or to call our main switchboard number on 0300 333 4444 or in confidence through crime stoppers on 0800 555 111 or via the website www.crimestoppers-uk.org
 
I have a simple approach to those who blight people's lives through crime or anti social behaviour, it is the responsibility of the police to protect the public and to this end I will ensure that the law enforcement assets at my disposal are resolute, determined and cutting edge in their pursuit of bringing those offenders to justice. We will seek to identify those offenders at an early stage and to pursue them fast-time to minimise the harm to the communities they effect.  We will seek to work closely with the CPS and courts to ensure that those who continually cause harm to communities are charged and remanded in line with legislation. 
 
I will ensure that all of the policing teams within this district have one overriding policing objective, 'to protect their community from harm'.  To this end we will respond to your calls for assistance promptly, conduct enquiries diligently and professionally and keep you updated on progress.
 
I will ensure communites are made aware of the key policing successes through their Neighbourhood action panels (NAPs), other community meetings and via the media.  I would like to encourage residents to attend there local NAP meeting (which is advertised on this website), to have their voice heard with regards to what they consider as the priorities for the police and other community service providers.
