🚋 A positive multi-agency meeting was held this week at the GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY, building on ongoing work following issues at Ploughlands, Quorn. It is encouraging to see the progress made, with continued partnership working helping to address concerns and improve community safety.
🚆 During the visit, attendees used a train simulator, which gave a clear and impactful insight into rail safety. It highlighted that, in an emergency, a train can take up to 1,900 metres to come to a complete stop. This was a strong reminder of the risks around railways, and the importance of ensuring both adults and young people understand the need to stay well clear of tracks.
🏫 Myself and PC 1574 Amelia also visited QUORN HALL SCHOOL, a specialist independent day school for children aged 6 to 17 with social, emotional and mental health needs. The school provides a supportive environment with tailored programmes to help build confidence and support learning. Staff create a calm and positive atmosphere where pupils feel safe and understood. Some students have previously felt nervous around police, but regular visits are helping to break down these barriers. Pupils are now becoming more comfortable, recognising Beat Team officers and engaging in conversation, which is helping to build trust and positive relationships.
🚫 Following deployment to a SERIOUS ROAD COLLISION, I was tasked with maintaining the scene log. A scene log is a real-time written record of all activity at an incident, including timed entries of key events, personnel movements, decisions, and actions taken. This includes arrivals and departures, instructions from supervisors, road closures, and any significant developments. The scene log is essential as it provides a clear audit trail, ensuring accountability and supporting any investigations, reports, or potential court proceedings by capturing accurate information at the time.
🔨 I have visited numerous VICTIMS this week, which I personally find to be the most fulfilling part of the role. One was a victim of burglary, which can be a very frightening experience as it affects people in their own homes where they should feel safest. We discussed simple home security measures to help prevent this, such as ensuring doors and windows are secure, using good outdoor lighting, and considering alarms or cameras. I also supported a victim of criminal damage, and we are continuing to work hard to identify those responsible and deal with them appropriately, Good CCTV footage is definitely key in identifying the young people and I will be going into the schools to identify them.
This is just a snapshot of this week, of course there was alot of patrolling by car and foot. Lots of clerical as always and many other jobs. I now break up for 4 days and off to Sunny Wales for a few days and I will see you all refreshed on my return. I leave you as always in the safe hands of the NL56 Beat Team.
Stay safe 💙 PCSO 6130 Gaynor
