New Crimestoppers campaign launches in Kingsthorpe to encourage reporting |
||
|
A new Crimestoppers campaign has launched to empower residents to anonymously report concerns about neighbourhood and retail crime where they live.
Tomorrow (November 8) a digital advan will visit locations across Kingsthorpe, alongside a Police Community Support Officer.
You might also see new bus stop advertisements put up, receive leaflets, or notice targeted social media messaging.
Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police, works closely with Northamptonshire Police to build trust between law enforcement and local people.
This new campaign follows the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner’s Study Tour, which was held in Kingsthorpe, back in July.
Study Tours are held across different areas in Northamptonshire to bring problem solvers together and help fix issues affecting residents and retailers.
The findings have informed ongoing work to make communities safer.
Danielle Stone said: “The Kingsthorpe Study Tour was a chance for decision makers and problem solvers, who know the area well, to come together and tell me what they wanted to see to improve safety where they live.
“By having a visible ad van and marketing campaign in prominent spots across Kingsthorpe, I hope residents will understand there can be a different route to help them report a crime.
“We know some people may feel fear, shame or lack confidence speaking up and by reporting to Crimestoppers they can still help Police keep their communities protected while staying anonymous.”
