Introduction
As we move into the new performance year I believe it right that we reflect on the con-tinued reductions we have seen in crime and disorder across Hampshire.
As a whole during the last year we have seen an impressive:
17% drop in overall crime .
23% reduction in Serious Acquisitive Crime (robbery, dwelling burglary, car
crime). 15% drop in serious violence.
The new Police and Crime commissioner has also confirmed our new Policing priori-ties, Key features of the plan include:
A relentless focus on making further reductions in crime and anti-social be-haviour .
A greater focus on solving more crime in rural areas .
Improving the service we give to victims and witnesses.
A renewed focus on use of community resolutions/alternative disposals toresolve crime
On a local level I would like to thank PC Richard SMITH of the Empress Ward who'llbe leaving us shortly to take up a new post. As yet we do not have replacement, butRichard will be replaced shortly. I would also like to welcome Nilam RAI to the teamwho is a new Police and Community Support Office who'll be working on the Cherry-wood Ward.
I hope you are finding the new style newsletter informative and I thank all those whohave supplied us with feedback.

Following a recent forum officers have been focusing on vehicle crime in the area, due to anumber of reports of damage to car wing mirrors. Notices have been placed on wind-screens suggesting that wing mirrors are tucked in where it is noticed that damage might becaused. Similarly if it is noticed that any valuables are left on display owners are contactedeither in person or by letter to keep these safe.
There has been a few shed breaks this month and crime prevention surgeries have beenorganised to bring these to residents attention.
Due to there being environmental issues with littering and fly tipping in the ward a number of visual audits have been completed and will continue on an on going basis. These auditshave been done by local school children, the police, Rushmoor Borough Council and theFire service. Anything found has then quickly been dealt with.
With the warmer weather increased patrols are being done along Cove Brook and Moor
Road playing fields where reports of mini motos/scrambling bikes are being ridden.
