Downham Market

We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Downham Market for the next three months:
Tackling youth and vehicle related anti-social behaviour
Tackling rural and acquisitive crime

Youth groups and community groups have been a recent focus as we gear up for the summer break. We've been working on explaining what is and isn't acceptable during the school holidays and making sure people know how to report any issues online.
Continuing to work with partners around tobacco and vape seizures. Lots of visits to local schools and youth groups. We have done lots of rural crime engagements including a young farmers session and have enjoyed attending local fetes with crime prevention advice.

Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across West Norfolk

It was a busy summer in Downham as expected and we’ve been really focussing on preventing and tackling ASB. We’ve been doing foot patrols as often as possible and chatting to local groups. We’ve also been visiting local vulnerable businesses and farms to help with target hardening and prevent rural crime.
We’ve also attended events when we can get to them to meet as many people as possible and help with crime prevention.
