I am pleased to be at Ipswich Road Police and will spend my time trying to continue to help People with issues. I like to be known as ' Firm but Fair ' .

Please be aware of a few ‘top tips’ to help keep you safe as follows;
Please observe the rules and do not drink and drive, for all involved it ruins lives;
and have that can of de-icer and scraper handy so you can see out the windows when it is frosty in the mornings.
When buying presents do not leave them on show in you car, put them in the boot along with that Satellite Navigation System that thieves like to steal by smashing windows and breaking into your cars. Leave lights or a Radio on in the home to create a presence.

In the area of Wormingford there has been vandalism to the village hall and play equipment, Police welcome any information that can assist in identifying those responsible. The open spaces in the area of Great Horkesley have been vandalised, those with information about who is causing the damage please contact Police by dialing 101 or 0300 333 4444. In relation to your property there are many ways you can protect it for example the use of good door locking systems and CCTV; being observant of your own and your neighbours property can assist in identify people that are out of place or acting strange in your area. Police welcome calls from residents reporting suspicious activities and we know that often people are unsure whether they should call Police or not when witnessing something strange; my suggestion is that if what you are witnessing doesn't feel right and it is possible that it could be a crime you are watching then please do call the Police.
Crimes can take place at any time, day or night and many dwelling burglaries occurr during the daytime hours so please keep an eye on your own and your neighbour's properties, you can call the Police on 101 or 0300 333 4444 to report any strange actvity but if it is an emergency and you require Police immediately please dial 999.
