Police 'real-estate' collaboration
23rd March 2024
Scant detail at the Police & Crime Scrutiny meeting at GCC, 23rd March, but it looks crime has increased in Wotton-under-Edge since April 2023 with an average of 36 crimes a month. A 76% increase from the 2019 baseline but within levels to be expected for a town like ours, apparently.
It seems that the Police are looking at sharing 'real-estate' and collaboration at the Fire Station.
Given that the last time I checked the 999 response time to Wotton was 24 minutes, something needed to happen. #opcc
PEEL Assessment
19th March 2024
Gloucestershire Constabulary's PEEL Assessment published last week seems less than good.
I have concerns about the performance of Gloucestershire Constabulary in keeping people safe, reducing crime and providing victims with an effective service. In particular, I have serious concerns about how it responds to the public.
