Foleshill news

Dear residents and local businesses,

Here is a roundup of what the Foleshill Neighbourhood team officers have been doing this week. 

 OUR Priorities

Our priorities are anti-social behaviour in Edgwick park- Officers have continued to patrol Edgwick park throughout this week. Officers have spoken to people throughout the park and have listened to residents issues and concerns.

Officers were also continuing their hi visibility patrols at the Gallagher retail park. Again we have our police van parked up and officers were interacting with shoppers and giving crime prevention advice. 

Shop theft is still a big issue on the retail park this week officers have completed a plain clothes operation targeting prolific offenders, no arrests were made and enquiries will be ongoing 

IN OTHER NEWS

 A big thank you to everybody that came to the children’s police session over the half term this was well attended and gave the children a insight into a day in the life of a police officer. The children had a real good time and lots of fun the feedback from parents was great so thank you. Will will look to arranging another session soon. 

This week officers have joined up with trading standards officers on a firework safety operation. Various retail locations across the north of the city were visited and lots af advice was given to shop keepers. 

This week officers have completed community speedwatch in various locations. This is after feedback from residents concerned about speeding drivers in the local area. PCSO have also been out with residents completing streetwatch walks. We are always on the lookout for speedwatch and streetwtch volunteers so if this is something that interests you please do get in touch.

We have been on patrols through the week for bonfire night and extra officer patrols are continuing over the weeked. If using fireworks this weekend always follow the firwork safety code below.
