A year of action, commitment and community: Cornwall policing delivers strong results

The police team across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have looked back at what has been both a challenging but proactive year, with successes highlighting the dedication across the county to keep communities safe.

Policing teams have continued to focus on tackling serious crime, putting offenders before the courts and working closely in neighbourhoods to resolve local issues and antisocial behaviour (ASB).

Some of the proactive work in 2025 included:

Chief Superintendent Scott Bradley, who leads the police teams in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, said: “Since having the privilege of becoming commander for the county in September last year, I can say that I am incredibly proud of the work our officers, staff and volunteers do every day to keep people safe.

“The successes reflect our commitment to providing visible, compassionate and effective policing in our communities - this commitment will remain as we head into 2026.

“Celebrating the successes isn’t to say that this year has not been without its challenges. I recognise that there have been a number of significant incidents which understandably rocked our communities and impacted many people.

“It was a tough year for many, but to see how our communities pull together in times of need is truly inspiring.

“Keeping people safe remains at the centre of everything we do.

“Our policing teams will continue to be there when you need us, patrolling our streets, preventing crime from happening in the first place and providing support to those who are victims of crime."
