Force Magazine

UpBeat is now an online-only publication. It is aimed at both the public and the police officers and staff of Essex Police.

We have included hyperlinks to various web pages, where you can find further information. However, those pointing to pages on the internal Essex Police intranet have be deactivated.

The May 2012 issue  finds out about a new high-tech 3D laser scanner, which is set to reduce the time roads need to be closed for investigation work folllowing serious accidents.

We find out how the Police National Database can help officers and staff carry out 'more intelligent searches' and there is news on the Athena project, a new 'one-stop' computer system which will deal with cases 'from report to court'.

And it is the second anniversary of Neighbourhood Resolution - in which police officers are encouraged to use their discretion when dealing with instances of low-level crime and anti-social behaviour, while still holding people to account for an offence they have committed.

You can also find out about the new Police and Crime Commissioners who will be replacing police authorities in elections to be held across the country in November - and our preparations for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

And we have details about the new mobile data terminals being rolled out under the operational policing Blueprint, which will allow our officers to stay out on patrol longer.

Plus there's plenty of other news and pictures from around the force.
