Community Contact and Patrol Coverage
Constables continued to emphasize preventative and community-centered policing through:
- 9 “Meet the Citizen” entries, offering a direct line of dialogue between residents and law enforcement.
- Welfare checks and follow-ups.
- Targeted presence at parks (10 visits), schools (8), and local businesses (13) to ensure public spaces remain safe and welcoming.
A notable increase in vacation watch checks helped protect unoccupied homes during vacation season.
A Note on Silver Watch Calls
There were no Silver Watch responses in August, which may suggest either a lower number of reports or ongoing well-being among elderly residents. However, residents are encouraged to stay attentive to their neighbors—especially those living alone.
