A mobile CCTV van is operating in the Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham areas.

safelinks monitors the work of the unit and will keep you informed.

The van is being used at trouble spots in North East Lincolnshire.

The system is intended to help the police and communities to control crime, bad behaviour and drunks.

You will see the unit at all hours and at places where trouble occurs.

It is making the place much safer by preventing trouble - not just reacting to it.

Please give us a call if you can help with the best use of the van.

The unit are also patrolling in areas where residents have complained about youths gathering and causing trouble.

The unit has recently undergone an upgrade using digital technology and DVD recording to improve the quality of images particularly in low light conditions.

Also

Humberside are making more use of the evidence which can be gathered from personal cameras fitted to Police Officers' uniform. This will assist in the conviction of criminals and those who mis-behave by a clearer presentation of the scene of an incident. Never has the saying, " A photograph is better than a thousand words." safelinks was allowed to view the movies recorded by the officers in the experimental stage and it can be over powering.

In addition, you will be seeing the installation of warning posters which alone will reduce the opportunity to use selfish behaviour.

Please give us a call if you can help with the best place for the signs.

There have been prosecutions supported by these personal cameras.

People Who Make Life Miserable


"Anti-social behaviour includes a range of problems – noisy neighbours, abandoned cars, vandalism, graffiti, litter and youth nuisance.

It can hold back the improvement of our areas, creating the place where crime can take hold.

The Government, the Police, NE Lincolnshire Council and Shoreline are committed to cracking down on anti social behaviour.

Andy Everett, the anti social behaviour co-ordinator, works for Humberside Police, is the focal point for the reduction of mis-behaviour by the few individuals who set out to make life unbearable for a number of others. He has a team of two researchers and an investigator gathering evidence, all working in partnership with the Neighbourhood Police Teams, another integral part of the team is Catherine Byrnes who is the anti social behaviour co-ordinator for NE Lincs Council.

Already thirty one full anti social behaviour orders have been secured when steps have been taken to improve behaviour and these steps have failed. There are currently nine applications for orders being worked upon.

safelinks wants to work with ordinary, properly behaved people, the anti social behaviour officer, the Police, NE Lincolnshire Council and anyone similarly minded to make NE Lincolnshire a better place to be.

The secret to its success is the strength of the community, to raise standards and information from the public in much the same way you have give information on crime and drug dealing.

Andy Everett or Cate Byrnes can give you guidance on the formulation of evidence, who is restrained by orders etc. Either phone 0845 60 60 222 ext 1668 or 1670 or email safelinks via messages/private.

Please go to your area crime page and then click, "community" to view details of ASBOs.

More later but meanwhile please click the Home Office link below"

Reducing Crime and Anti Social Behaviour in Your Area.

Safelinks wants to further reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in this area brought about by the public and police.

There is less crime and bad behaviour in areas where there is an active neighbourhood watch in place. The reason is that the police are only as effective as the quality of information given to the police by the public. In other words grouping together protects your home and  outnumbers criminals.

Graham Reynolds and Howard Westoby are experienced neighbourhood watch group development officers and are there to help you to set up a group to protect your street.  You then gain the strength of The Humberside Association of Neighbourhood Watch Groups.

Setting up is not difficult and does not involve a great lot of time to function. As with all these things the success depends on people interested in making their area much safer. I think that person is you.

It's about grouping together and caring without interfering. Graham and Howard can help you get the balance right.

There is a clear difference between a general moan and groan about the state of things and reporting a suspicious incident or the activities of a criminal. The latter puts criminals in a position of disadvantage.

For years the best successes by the Police have been the public calling about a suspicious incident, the Police responding to the incident and arresting the criminal or stopping the incident.

The Police are getting better so we, the public, need to get better too.

If you are interested in helping to start a neighbourhood watch group or want to know if a group exists in your area please call safelinks on admin@safelinks.info and we will ask Graham or Howard to call.

Smartwater - Coming to a Burglary Hotspot Near You

Police in North East Lincolnshire have introduced Smart Water as part of their crime prevention and detection toolbag.

Some time ago Safelinks was invited along to a Smart Water training session with detectives, uniformed officers and representatives of the criminal justice system.

Thousands of houses are protected in the North East Lincolnshire area and the kits are now being pushed out to other house burglary hotspots.

Smartwater is a colourless, stain free permanent liquid made up of several chemical compounds.  Each bottle has the compounds in different levels making no bottle alike. The chemical composition is registered so that if a person comes into contact with the fluid the chemical can be tracked back to a certain house.

Each supply is entirely different so an item marked with Smart Water in another town found by Police here in Grimsby can be traced with certainty. If a thief from another town comes to Grimsby and is sprayed with the material then there is no escape if he returns home.

The system is already in place in several areas of the country and more will be using the system.

Smartwater packs are being distributed by Police Community Support Officers and Community Wardens and the distribution is growing daily.

Smartwater spray systems are also installed in properties likely to be attacked by burglars.

Every person, arrested day or night, is screened for Smartwater contamination and already a conviction has been secured due entirely to the Smartwater system.

Items of property coming into Police possession through arrests or in execution of search warrants are checked for Smartwater.

The Smartwater Fluid and Information Guide

Please click on image to enlarge

The unique liquid comes with an applicator ready to mark the type of property thieves go for when breaking into houses (Electrical goods, jewellery and any property they can turn quickly into cash. See safelinks crime pages) A guide is also provided.

The Registration Document

This is filled in to ensure the Smartwater can be linked back to a particular property.

The Notice

Police Community Support Officers or Wardens distribute the packs, giving help and advice where needed.
