Hotspot Policing Hits Filey and Eastfield

Project Hotspot which is funded by the Home Office aims to increase trust and confidence in policing and make people feel safer in the communities they live in.

Hotspot policing is described as "a dedicated operation that puts police officers on the streets in the right place at the right time". 

North Yorkshire Police say it's just one of their tactics to cut down on anti social behaviour and serious violence.

Neighbourhood officers on the coast have implemented proactive patrol plans, to maximise coverage of the area and to ensure hotspots are constantly targeted. Officers will be out and about on foot and in vehicles at key times. 

Officers say:

"You can of course expect to see us in Scarborough Town but now more specifically in Eastfield, Filey and the villages that surround these towns.

The team will also be working hard to sign people up for North Yorkshire Community Messaging. This is a free service where the public can receive direct alerts from our officers and reply to us. Just search “North Yorkshire Community Messaging” to find out more."

The local Neighbourhood beat Sergeant, Lewis Grange said: 

“Anti-social behaviour has a significant detrimental effect on our communities and quite simply it will not be tolerated.

“These dedicated hotspot patrols will see us work effectively and efficiently to ensure that Filey and Eastfield remain a safe place for people to live, work and visit.

“Incidents of anti-social behaviour should always be reported either by the North Yorkshire Police website, calling 101 or speaking to an officer”.

We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
