Making Things Better in North and North East Lincolnshire

Safelinks tries to remove the casual approach to crime prevention and to use teamwork to stop the efforts of criminals.

The web site is an easy way for everybody in North and North East Lincolnshire to see what crimes are happening in your area and to communicate with each other on safety in this area. This enables communities to be much stronger against criminals and trouble makers.

Please ask us - we know how to find the answers. Click "contact safelinks" and send in your question.

To find which neighbourhood policing area you are in hover over the interactive map on the safelinks home page and that part of the map will light up. Left click on the North or North East Lincolnshire area. Then hover and left click on one of the five areas on the next map. The areas correspond to the areas on the menu to the left of the map.

You can reduce your risk of burglary, car crime, anti social behaviour and the effects of drug dealing if you know what criminals are up to in your area. Safelinks provides this information.

People like to do things they are comfortable with and criminals are no exception. It follows that if a burglary or car crime takes place at a certain spot there is a vastly increased chance of similar happening in a similar way nearby. If you have this information you can take reasonable steps to stop a crime happening to you.

Also sharing information weakens the effectiveness of criminals. If you have information on crimes, criminals, stolen property or drug dealing click "contact safelinks" and send in your information in to the Immingham Police Station. If you are concerned about validity of the site please call me through the Humberside Police switchboard on 0845 60 60 222  ext 4913 for verification.

The reporting of every incident is important to build a picture of criminal activity.

Where you would previously have contacted neighbourhood policing teams by phone to voice concerns or give information about who is committing crime take the weight off their shoulders and call us. The information can then land right on the spot. I have just reached 44 years service to the public without breaking a confidence. Your information will be passed to a person who I know will make proper use of it. If you don't see what you need on the maps and pages please call safelinks. If you need information about incidents in your area let the police get on with catching criminals and call us. We will find the facts for you and also feed the police the info you supply.

If you need to remain anonymous please ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

If you report anything following information on this site please post a message on the site.

Be sure to check newsflash, car crime news and your area crime map. Please call safelinks with any query about ASBO. Each local area news page holds the details and images of a a selection of people subject an antisocial behaviour order.   From each of the areas you can find local area news and crime maps from the drop down menu. The map tab will take you to a Google map and by double clicking the map or using the scroll bar you can enlarge the map. Click on the items on left or the balloons to read about recent crimes. Sometimes the Google maps show an error state and need a wake up.  You can do this by just clicking the refresh button.

There are now six maps from the safelinks site. They are the two car crime maps, two area crime maps and two commercial maps.

Once you have found the maps explore them by enlarging the maps by means of the zoom buttons + and -

A quick way to zoom is to double click any area of the map with your left mouse button. You can move around the map by holding down the centre of the map with your left mouse button and then dragging in any direction you wish and then dropping.

Then perhaps go to the safety advice page.

The site is not the way to report emergencies. The 999 system should be used if you see a crime being committed or for any dangerous incident. For other calls ring Police on 0845 60 60 222.

Groups of residents working together in an area does reduce crime and provide peace. If you are interested in starting a group in your area please call safelinks via "Contact Safelinks" and I will put you in touch with colleagues who will help you.

The information about crime can be used to avoid crime by altering habits such as where you park, not leaving items in the car including in the glove box or boot and the importance of securing houses, even if you are in another room.
