o   Priority 1: Protect the vulnerable (including Domestic Abuse, Hoarding, Cyber Crime, Child Sexual Exploitation and Hate Crime)

o   Priority 2: Tackle Dwelling Burglary

o   Priority 3: Improve our understanding of our increasingly diverse communities and build community resilience

o   Hate crime

o   CSE – abuse through sports clubs

o   Technology – cyber crime

 

·        Review of recommendations

o   Keep same main priorities for a further year

o   Focus specific issues where risk of harm high

 

§  CSE (cyber crime)     

§  Hoarding

§  DA                              

§  Hate crime

 

o   Engage with partners to share resource where appropriate

o   Resilience strategy, Cambridgeshire County Council

 

Prompted by a remark from County Councillor David Jenkins, James Sutherland said that burglars preferred to target property when it was dark and there was nobody at that property. This tended to preclude domestic burglaries overnight, and helped to explain why the peak period for such crimes was October to December, when it got dark before people got home.

 

Mike Hill said he would be meeting the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner on 1 March 2017 to discuss several issues, including the priorities and funding for South Cambridgeshire.

 

Maurice Moore thanked Leigh Roberts for her presentation and contribution during his time as Chairman.
