District commander update

Harlow district commander - Chief Insp Ben Hodder
Above: Chief Insp Ben Hodder
I am delighted to be appointed as the new district commander for Harlow.

I have experience working in a variety of roles within Essex Police and I have been working in the district for the past three years having moved from south west of the county.

We have a good relationship with our partner agencies and together we have achieved a good level of crime reduction over the past year. We will continue with this work to ensure our community continues to be a very safe place to live. We successfully reduced crime last year by  10.7%, which means there were 920 less victims of crime compared to this time last year.

However we are clear that behind each statistic there is a person who has suffered the impact of a crime and behind them family and friends who feel the impact too. We are therefore keen to ensure that those who commit crime are caught and convicted. This is not the only answer, we will continue to deter and prevent crime.

We are also aware that the fear of crime can impact on you. Essex and Harlow are low crime areas but we will work to find ways of directing resources at those measures which not only reduce crime but make you feel safer too.

My focus will be centred around drawing together a closely-knit community spirit to ensure criminals are brought to justice and the priorities of the residents are reflected in all that we do.

The way in which we deliver our policing service is through our neighbourhood policing teams, who are 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 problem.
