We have had 8 burglaries since the beginning of the year so I really would like to stress the importance of home security. Most recently two have taken place in Graveley, one in Horse and Gate Street in Fen Drayton and another in The Orchard, Fen Drayton and finally one in Papworth. I am upping my patrols to tackle this as are my colleagues however could I please ask you to call in any suspicious people or circumstances that you happen to notice?
Over the weekend a visitor to a local resident called in to our control room. The local resident was an elderly female and a man selling goods in dark clothing and hat knocked on her front door offering to sell her items. The visiting friend then came to the front door and the man walked off. This is a perfect example of suspicious activity to call in and bring to our attention. Upon receiving the call, an officer was dispatched. We caught up with the man and checked him out we took his details and have submitted intelligence on him. There was no evidence to suggest he was involved in any unlawful activity but this kind of local information is key to tackling local crime.
Police surgeries:
I will be at the car park of The Three Tunns, Fen Drayton in the Mobile Police Station on Friday 12th of February between 10.30am and 11.30am.
I will later that afternoon be in The Studio, Pendrill Court, Papworth Everard between 2.30pm and 4pm.
I will be happy to see you there to discuss any concerns you have or community issues you would like to bring to my attention. I will also be giving out crime prevention advice particularly relevant at the moment. |

Following on from recent headlines regarding a comment made in my latest podcast I wanted to take the time to clarify what I actually said and my views on responding to 999 calls.
As you are all more than aware there are a number of ways to contact us. But in an emergency, when there is immediate danger to life or property, always dial ‘999’ and we will respond. Let there be no doubt about that.
Did you know that the force receives between 350 and 600 ‘999’ calls a day? Not all of these calls are genuine emergencies and it is the job of staff in the control room to ensure calls are prioritised and dealt with appropriately.
That said we manage to answer more than 96% of ‘999’ calls within 10 seconds and when there is a genuine emergency, 97% of the time an officer attends within 30 minutes.
Non-emergency and nuisance calls are made to the force every day. Callers making enquiries such as ‘what is today’s date?’, ‘I can’t find Homebase and I’m very distressed’, and ‘I want to speak to the Prime Minister’ are clearly not emergencies and do not require an immediate response from officers.
These calls can delay people with real emergencies from receiving the urgent police attention they need, which is why we also have our 0345 456 456 4 number for all non-emergency calls.
We are always striving to improve the service we provide to our local communities and will continue to do so in this vital area of policing.
Rest assured, if you are involved in a serious incident, that requires an emergency response, we will be there.
Kind regards
Chief Constable Julie Spence |
