Sergeant Brian O’Connor Neighbourhood Policing Team:
‘’Overall the results are impressive and show that crime has significantly reduced in most areas and even greater reductions in anti- social behaviour in the last 12 months

The figures  demonstrate  the positive way in which the Communities of Sedgefield Fishburn and the Trimdons  pull together as a community. They give us all confidence and reassurance that my team of officers, the council, councillors, Area Action Partnership and other partner agencies are working hard to give the communities in those areas what they want –  which is a safer neighbourhood.

Police and partners will continue to work with the same commitment with the aim of achieving further reductions during 2013 in order to improve the quality of life for the residents in those communities.’’
