January 2008 Police Information Update
8th January 2008
For the benefit of new residents and a reminder for others the SNT system is one
of dedicated police teams for specific areas of Stowmarket. We come under the
area Stowmarket North. Our Police team comprises PC 1118 Jon Eaves and PCSO
Emma Hollis who report to Sergeant Jane Hertzog then through to Inspector Sally
Gallant and on to Mid Suffolk District Commander Chief Inspector Neal Atwell.
The SNT meet formally on a monthly basis; these meetings are attended by police
teams, a senior officer of at least District Inspector rank, representatives
from various areas of Stowmarket, and councillors. You are represented by two
members of the CPRA committee, The meeting although formal allows us the
opportunity to express any points of concern and in particular, specific
problems which we feel should be priority tasked by SNT in the next month.
Priorities are set and recorded; they can range from anti social behaviour,
speeding, theft, criminal damage, squatters, etc etc. They are reviewed at the
next meeting with results or action taken reported. The process starts again
with either new priorities or ongoing ones pursued. Nothing is left to drag on
without some action. These tasks are carried out in conjunction with normal
policing duties. Fitting in with this setup, two committee members meet monthly
with our SNT team PC Jon Eaves and PCSO Emma Hollis, where ongoing incidents,
feedback and results are discussed. This has proved very useful in the
detection of local criminal activity or miscreants causing anti social
behaviour, it is very much a two way opportunity and provides us in conjunction
with the SNT meetings, with a face to face contact at intervals of not more
than two weeks.
You could of course pass any comments or observations you wish to be brought up
with regard to policing through our web-site. There is a Community Hot Line if
you wish to pass information to the police and we understand this can be done
confidentially. The number is 01284 774029
A recent success was in the prompt solution of ‘paintball’ damage to property on
the evening of Saturday 5th January. Through quick passing of information and
the action of Neighbourhood Watch members, residents and our SNT PC Jon Eaves
and PCSO Emma Hollis, the offenders were very quickly brought to book. This is
prime example of community and police partnership, working together to keep
Cedars Park a safe and pleasant place to live. We are informed by the police
that there are various scams at the moment to relieve you of your money or
savings, one purports to be a Spanish Lottery, others are alleged ‘Banks!!!?’
asking for confidential details by e-mail do not get taken in.
There was a serious incident in Robin Close on Christmas morning at approx
04:45hrs, please refer to the detailed Police notice on this web-site.
September 2007 Police Information Update
13th September 2007
At the Monthly Police Tasking meeting held on the 12th Sept. The Area
Commander, Chief Inspector Paul Sharp asked that in the light of the recent
serious incident he would like, through the web-site to pass on reassurance to
our residents that the Police are in control of the situation and their ongoing
presence will be around.
There is a Police POD in the vicinity and any required examination of the scene
is being carried out
We thanked the Chief Inspector for his reassurance and concern
Following on from this many of you may not be aware of the Safer Neighbourhood
Team (SNT) web-site and e-mail address. We come under Stowmarket North .
They are as follows:

Safer Neighbourhood Teams
28th August 2007
Have you heard of this incentive? If you have or
not this is an outline of what is now in place in Suffolk and in
particular to Stowmarket and Cedars Park .
The Safer Neighbourhood Scheme is set up under a directive to ensure
pro-active and ,reactive police presence brought about by dedicated teams for
the two areas of Stowmarket
Cedars Park comes under Stowmarket North. The team is lead by Sergeant Jane
Hertzog, supported by PC 1118 Jon Eaves and his Police Community Support
Oficers
Jon Eaves and his PCSO’s are the most likely you will have contact with.
A monthly meeting is held at Stowmarket Police Station with a Senior Officer,
Police Constables and representatives from various interested parties from
across the town. You are represented by two members of the Residents
Association Committee.
The object is to identify areas of concern and “task” them for the coming month
whilst still working on ongoing and longer term issues. “Tasking” does not
mean just talk about it, the Senior Officer requires to know what
has been done by whom and when at the following monthly meeting
Your committee representatives will ensure that issues concerning residents will
be brought up and followed up. But to that end should wish to raise specific
points please use the website to inform us.
Already PC Jon Eaves and his team have been active in many areas, faced up and
dealt with successfully various anti social behaviour and speeding incidents
We also instigated some months ago a meeting approximately every four weeks with
PC Jon Eaves and one of his team. This was to update and discuss anything
immediate. This has been successful in obtaining several quick results. CPRA
committee set this up; so you could say we were ahead of the game. Again you
should see this as an opportunity to air any genuine
concerns.
A resume of the minutes of the meetings is our website
Hopefully this is informative to all Cedars Park Residents but should you know
of a neighbour without internet access please pass this info on.
