What do I do to report a crime?
We have been instructed by the council to report all incidents to the police who have told us what is required to pursue such incidents. Basically the following information will be required by them, (as dictated by the Home Office) to log the incident and assign an incident/crime number.
- Name of complainant
- Address of complainant
- Telephone number of complainant
- Date of birth (optional)
- Ethnicity (optional)
- Date/Time of Incident
- What has been Stolen/Damaged
- Any relevant history.
If the Association receives any complaints in future, we need to log
these and are willing to pass the information on to the police.
However, it is preferable that the complainant contacts the police directly;
they can either call the incident centre on:
0845-60-70-999
or email them to the email address below:
contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk

ALLOTMENT WATCH
It aims:
-
To increase the security and prevention of allotment related crime.
-
To offer support and reassurance to the wide range of people throughout the allotment community, whilst gaining information to help reduce crime.
-
To generate a positive attitude to the above aims by taking care not only of your own property, but also that of neighbouring or nearby allotments and equipment.
-
To provide an adequate communication network through which information can be quickly circulated.
-
Through the Allotment Watch Scheme that was set up, we have moved forward with making safety and security more a priority.
This has been achieved in a number of ways:
-
The Allotment Watch signs at all entrances to Allotment sites.
-
Better communication through Police Representatives, the Allotment Association, and Site Overseers.
-
Crime reduction initiatives e.g.: Post-code engraving of tools, car boot sale Patrols.
-
Pro-active activity by Allotment tenants e.g.: securing gates, challenging strangers and general awareness.
Allotment Watch is seen as an important extension in our
local community crime prevention. Worthing Borough Council and Sussex
Police would encourage all allotment holders to join.
If any criminal damage or theft should occur, please call Sussex Police
on the following number as soon as possible, quoting ALLOTMENT WATCH
0845 60 70 999
Thank you Sussex Police
Our contact
Hello all.
I have now taken over Allotment Watch from Dan Cobden so I look forward
to working with you all. I work in Tarring so it made sense I took over
as I have three allotments on the area. My telephone number is 07920247493.
PCSO Julie Green
From our old contact
I have received a couple of emails from allotment tenants reporting numerous thefts and damage from both theirs and other plots. Any reports of this nature need to be reported by the actual victims to Police on the non-emergency number 0845-60-70-999 and not to the liaison officer as it is the call centre who can 'crime' it. When a victim calls up they will need to supply their full details such as name, address, d.o.b.,etc.
