POLICING PRIORITIES AND BUDGET CONSULTATION 2009/10

The Police Authority is updating its Policing Plan (2009 -12) and
against the priorities identified in that plan will shortly be setting
its 2009/10 budget. It is important that we share our views on
priorities with the public, key partners and staff and ensure that these
reflect the needs and wishes of our communities.

Your views on the issues highlighted in the summary (or indeed
any other related issue) will be welcome. The document can be
viewed and questions answered on the new North Yorkshire Police
Authority website - www.nypa.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=840

 

COMMUNITY PAYBACK - YOUR CHANCE TO CHOOSE

Who are we?
There are 42 Local Criminal Justice Boards in the country, which were introduced in 2003.
They are accountable for the delivery of the key government targets of bringing more offenders to justice and improving public confidence in the criminal justice system.
The North Yorkshire Criminal Justice Board (NYCJB) is made up of chief officers from the main
criminal justice agencies - North Yorkshire Police, the National Probation Service, Her Majesty’s Courts Service, the Crown Prosecution Service, North Yorkshire Youth Offending Team, Victim Support and Her Majesty’s Prison Service - who take joint responsibility for the
performance of the criminal justice system in the region.
The Board works to improve co-operation between criminal justice agencies, identifying weaknesses and removing blockages in the system.
Improving joint working between the criminal justice agencies will help to ensure that more criminals are caught and convicted, that victims get a better deal and that communities are properly protected through appropriate punishment for offenders that also seeks to rehabilitate and reduce the chances of further offending.

DO YOU HAVE A BURGLAR ALARM?

The Council get approximately 50 complaints every year about intruder alarms sounding.

The vast majority are sounding falsely and Harrogate Borough Council's Environmental Health Officers have to get these turned off, sometimes by force.

The cost of this is passed on to the owner or occupier of the house and the bill can run into hundreds of pounds.

Your alarm should have a 20 minute cut-out to stop it from ringing for long periods.
Even if it does have a cut out it may be triggered over and over again by a fault or even by a pet.

Even the best maintained alarm systems can develop faults so you can help us, and perhaps save yourself a considerable sum of money, by having someone else hold a key for you.
If you let us know who your keyholder are, we can contact them for you and get your alarm turned off without trauma.

Please download and fill in the keyholder form and return it to:

Environmental Protection Team
Department of Community Services
Springfield House
Kings Road
Harrogate HG1 5NX

or alternatively you can e-mail your details to: deborah.whiteoak@harrogate.gov.uk
