Rutland South

Rural crime:
You said: The issue of theft of agricultural equipment and other plant from commercial farming locations, equipment being used to commit other offences, and livestock offences and other wildlife crime has been highlighted as a priority you want us to work on.

what are we going to do:
We will continue to work closely with the rural policing team recovering property and returning it to its owners. We will also identify vulnerable properties and farms, and work to secure them by working with community safety. Overt patrols will be conducted, working with officers from other areas to target suspicious behaviour in and around isolated locations. Working with community safety we can offer crime prevention advice and prevention through marking vehicles and machinery.

Theft and Burglary:
you said: The issues of theft and burglary, commercial burglary, but also dwelling breaks and theft offences are a priority you want us to work on.

what we are going to do:
increase target hardening with businesses and dwellings through encouraging the use of CCTV, alarms and crime prevention advice. We will continue to conduct high visibility patrols targeting them by using intelligence and statistics across the Rutland South beat. Along with engaging with the public through beat surgeries and social media.

Road safety:
you said: speeding vehicles in Rutland is a priority you want us to address across the country, but in particular the A47 corridor. Along a wider problem of traffic management, parking problems and associated issues on the A606 in and around Rutland Water and it's village and its tributaries.

what we are going to do:
through reports made to us and engagement within the community we are able to conduct patrols and highlight areas of concern. We intend to work closely with neighbourhood speed watch in order to create accurate statistics to contribute towards our patrols.
