Local Policing Review - Statement from Inspector Paul Rogerson As many of you will know in April 2018 Cambridgeshire Constabulary underwent a wholesale reorganisation, referred to as the “Local Policing review” or LPR. The community teams which previously covered Huntingdonshire, South Cambs, East Cambs and Cambridge City merged but continue to have local presence and focus led by a local Sergeant. These Geographical officers are supported by a larger enforcement team called “CAT”, the Community Action Team.
The LPR has caused the Constabulary to review many of its processes, including how we engage with communities. Our previous commitment in South Cambs (providing seven quarterly panel meetings) is no longer something the Constabulary can maintain. For this reason we have explored new ways to ensure we understand communities and residents can have their say on local police issues.
Moving ahead the local teams, led in South Cambs by Sgts Jon Capes and Emma Hilson will undertake a new approach. - Closer working relationships with Parish representatives, District and County Councillors. This began in October with a full Council briefing to elected District representatives. Work will continue with a Parish workshop in March 2019. A key part of this is that we need Parishes to take a lead, and ensure matters of serious concern are fed back to Police (directly to your local Sgt). - Online surveys commissioned on a quarterly basis (this includes a general and “youth specific” survey). Surveys will help local police teams gather views from a much larger audience including our minority and vulnerable communities. We recognise that some communities, the elderly for example, do not have direct access to online facilities. To ensure we are capturing the views of all our residents we will run separate more traditional forms of targeted engagement work to complement the online survey. - In partnership with Parish, District and County elected members, community meetings can be called where and when they are needed to discuss specific issues with the local police team. A recent good example of this is in Willingham where police teams met with residents to address serious concerns about crime levels. - Where areas of serious concern are identified Police will, in partnership with other agencies, commission a public action plan, an example of which can be found here. - Your local team will commit to holding regular police surgeries three times a month.
We believe this revised approach will help create stronger relationships with South Cambs residents. I do appreciate we are asking more of our elected members. However, I believe you are the right people to speak for your communities. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in contact.
