If community and police resources are cut to the bone during the recession this could damage communities, said Professor Martin Innes. He has been commissioned by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to work alongside Ipsos MORI to develop a new framework to help police forces respond more effectively to acts of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB). He said: “If anything, work to tackle anti-social behaviour has been given extra urgency by the recession. Our research shows that a failure to tackle ASB can have potentially serious impacts upon the long-term economic and social well-being of communities.”

Police are warning against people leaving doors and windows open during the heat wave as it is causing burglaries to soar. Detective Inspector Nigel Oliver, who leads Portsmouth’s burglary investigation team, pointed out that in the vast majority of cases the thief was able to get through a door or window that had been left unlocked or open. In one instance a thief went through the back of a home which was left unlocked, stole a mobile phone and a wallet and a purse containing bank cards and a slip of paper with the PIN written on it. Later on, money had been withdrawn from the bank account.
One of Britain’s most senior police officers warned there will be fewer police patrolling the streets following predicted cuts of a quarter in the Home Office budget. "Some services will have to be reduced. We have to make sure the building blocks of British policing – the local police service providing to local communities – is maintained but we also have to share the cake out, if you like, around the national and international responsibilities," said Sir Hugh Orde, interviewed on the Today programme. He added: "Until we see the CSR (comprehensive spending review) results it is very hard to predict.”
CCTV footage will have a role to play in the case of a football supporter accused of trespassing after he entered England’s dressing room at the World Cup. Pavlos Joseph appeared at a special World Cup court in Cape Town. His solicitor, Craig Webster, requested the adjournment because the defence team was still awaiting CCTV footage from the stadium on the night of England’s 0-0 draw against Algeria. Webster asked the magistrate Aziz Hamied to postpone the case a few days, after which he expected to be in possession of the footage.

A police campaign to tackle four key areas of anti-social behaviour has resulted in a drop-off in crime by up to 20%. Operation LASER began in June 2009 in Scotland to enhance front line resources to combat vandalism, public space disorder, the proxy sale of alcohol to those underage and low level drug misuse. Officers who work in non-operational roles are now each committed to providing resource support six weekends per year. The numbers added to the existing Community Officers allows the service to provide a greater presence on the street. This drive was based on co-operation and information from the public, who liaised with patrolling officers, and resulted in a thumbs-up from the community.
Putting up CCTV surveillance is one of the conditions imposed upon councillors approving a new unmanned railway station in Leeds. The proposed station borders the cleared Kirkstall Forge development site, which has outline permission to build offices, 1,000 homes, leisure, retail units and bar/restaurants. An agreement includes a £4 million payment to help deliver the station. Others say the station has inadequate access from Kirkstall and Bramley. Councillors are recommended to approve the application, subject to a number of conditions including a time limit of five years, details of signalised junction to Abbey Road, CCTV system and bus/taxi lay-by and drop off area to be submitted prior to development.
Plastic bags will be put over Birmingham’s so-called ‘terror cameras’. After objections from local people, scores of surveillance cameras in parts of the Second City with large Muslim populations will be covered up. Safer Birmingham Partnerships (SBP, a partnership of the police, the city council and other agencies) said 218 cameras had been installed. The cameras were financed through a counter-terrorism fund, but the SBP said they would tackle all crime. The cameras will not be used until consultation has been carried out.
