| | | |

| |There have been a number of vehicles that have been targeted due to being insecure and having items of value left on display | |

| |however there are vehicles that are believed to have been secure and the possibility that suspects are using an electronic | |

| |device to interfere with the signal between the key fob and the vehicle. There is advice regarding different ways to store | |

| |your vehicle keys while not in use on the internet however the general advice is to store them within some sort of metal | |

| |container. Remember to store both key in use and your spare. | |

| | | |

| |area. It was asked if we could have one now leading up to Halloween. Barry Coppinger explained that there had been several | |

| |meetings and plans put in place for mischief night. As soon as this was in place it would be put on the Middlesbrough | |

| | | |

| |Guest Speaker Barry Coppinger (Police and Crime Commissioner) | |

| |Barry had put some leaflets out for residents to read. The first was on Cleveland Connected this is a crime and community | |

| |safety messaging service and advice system operated by Cleveland Police working in partnership with other relevant community | |

| |safety organisations, agencies and Watch schemes. Once you sign up to Cleveland Connected you will also be given the | |

| |opportunity to join Neighbourhood Watch or other local watch schemes or to even set up a scheme. | |

| | | |

| |The second leaflet was regarding Victim Care and Advice Service this is an independent and confidential service including | |

| |counselling and help with claims for compensation supported by the Cleveland and Durham Police and Crime Commissioners. | |

| | | |

| |The third leaflet is on Community Safety Award scheme where they recognise people who do exceptional work including police | |

| |officers, PCSO’s and Specials, Community groups and volunteers and business and housing providers. | |

| | | |

| |The last leaflet is on Police and Crime plans which sets out the aims and outcomes of Barry’s terms in office. The leaflet | |

| | | |

| |Barry explained he was developing the Victim Care and Advice service and could arrange for a presentation at a future meeting.| |

| | | |

| |The third priority was tackling re-offending and doing more work to stop prisoners reoffending. He would be doing more | |

| |working with employers in the area. The fourth was working together to make Cleveland safer including joint dog section and | |

| |major incident team as well as smaller speciality team as well as working with fire service doing more as we move forward. | |

| |There will be more engagement between police and community. | |

| | | |

| |He understands we are getting lighting for the Community Centre and are one of four grass root charities in the North East | |

| |hoping to win up to £10,000 for LED Lighting from M&S Energy and we need peoples votes. A leaflet telling residents how to | |

| |vote was also left on chairs at meeting. Barry also said that if it was necessary he would give us a letter of support or | |

| |reference. Barry explained he would put something on social media. | |

| | | |

| |He then went on to talk about Scams and working with Royal Mail. Helen explained that they are adopting a post office where | |

| |staff will identify more residents who make more regular visits and take out more regular payments. They will also do more | |

| |work with cybercrime. Gavin Harrington can come and talk to groups regarding fraud awareness and regarding scams everyone was| |

| |taken in at the last meeting. Barry asked residents not to give personal details out over the telephone. Barry also explained| |

| |that in sessions of Fraud awareness that people have gained their confidence. | |

| | | |

| |Dorothy asked with regards to the police working with prisons she had heard that Holme House was going to be 4 years and | |

| |Durham longer and Kirklevington coming to end of sentence were skills developed more. Helen explained that recent sellers | |

| |were government funded initiatives and a lot come from outside the area especially from the South. Some residents are having | |

| |sellers two or three times a day. Barry will look into it. | |

| | | |

| |The Community Safety Hub and control room will have space for partners and opportunities for joint workers including probation| |

| |service. Barry explained that they own Ladgate Lane and sold to community Hub. The long term plan will cost £10 million to | |

| |develop and there are strict rules on how to spend the money. Capital money has to be spent on capital purposes. To save | |

| |money on ambulance and fire service work more closely together and other services can be offered collaboratively. | |

| |Tom is on Cleveland Fire Authority and have just built a new Fire building with Control Room and there are no thoughts about | |

| |moving into Ladgate Lane. | |

| | | |

| |A resident asked if the operation centre will be for police vehicles for call outs. Most operational vehicles are based in | |

| |the town centre. Make Hemlington different to Ladgate Lane there will be a café and meeting space. | |

| | | |

| |Helen explained she had got a new piece of equipment a dot marking machine which there are only two of and suggested coming to| |

| |a coffee morning to use if for marking bicycles. | |

| | | |

| |Planning Applications | |
