Neighbourhood Priorities

Violence against Women and Girls

Tackling Violence against Women and Girls is a priority. The harm caused to victims and society by violence against women and girls in all its forms- including but not limited to harassment, stalking, rape, sexual assault, murder, honour-based abuse, coercive control - is immeasurable.

Community Engagement

We are aware that the public want to see Police Officers more, and we, as police officers, want the same. Our teams will be out and about in your local area and encourage you to stop and say hello. We are always happy to listen to your issues and see what we can do to help.

We are invigorating our social media output and encourage you to follow our sites.

Please have a look at Devon and Cornwall Alert, this is a two way community messaging system operated by Devon and Cornwall Police. The system helps us to connect with our communities, it tells people what is happening in their area and allows them to respond directly with any information.

The system is designed to allow people who register to choose the type of information they would like to receive concerning crime and anti-social behaviour, witness appeals, crime prevention, community events and local good news.

Subscribers will not be notified about every crime or incident that happens in their community. Our aim is to send relevant information where we believe to do so will reduce the opportunity for crime and anti-social behaviour or will help Devon and Cornwall Police solve a crime.

Over the last few weeks the Neighbourhood Team has been involved in Golowan and Mazey Day in Penzance and also Lafrowda in St Just.

Such behaviour includes intimidation, abusive language and public alcohol & drug use.

Our activity:

• Seizing alcohol and drugs
• Using stop and search powers
• Dispersing problem groups
• Arresting offenders
• Using ASB escalation powers (in conjunction with partners), to place offenders on court orders.

Issue Date Friday 26th July 2024

Following a busy summer the sector your Neighbourhood team will be out and about as usual, targeting ASB in the Town Centre, dealing with Youth Crime and neighbourhood issues in conjunction with our partners.

Our new Street Marshalls have been patrolling the town and getting to know local businesses and tackling ASB, in conjunction with extra police patrols over the summer they have had a real effect on ASB in the town.
