Season's Greetings

For many the festive season is an opportunity to slow down and enjoy time with family and friends but for us it is very much business as usual as we continue our work to keep the county safe.

All our officers and staff work continuously to ensure the county is kept safe over this busy period.

For the month of December, our focus has been on public safety across a range of priorities including roads, shopping destinations, nightlife, public transport and violence against women and girls. We have also been encouraging the public to adopt simple crime prevention measures regarding personal property and home safety, particularly those who plan to travel away over the festive period.

To deliver this operation effectively, we have been working with key partners, including council, schools, youth groups and other community-based groups.

Whether you are planning a festive night out, considering shopping online, concerned about the best way to secure your home or if you are just not sure of the best way to contact your local police, there is a wealth of information on our website which everyone will find useful.

Over the Christmas period we want all victims to know that we are here for them no matter the time of day. If you need police assistance, please call us on 101 or report online.  Always call 999 in an emergency. 

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
