Eden neighbourhood policing team PCSO Mark Robson has been out and about in Penrith town centre this week, engaging with retailers as part of a wider effort by Cumbria Police to keep the area safe during the busy summer period.
On Wednesday, (30th July), PCSO Robson visited retail premises in Penrith town centre as part of his regular reassurance patrols, which also support ongoing Safer Streets Campaign — a partnership initiative aimed at enhancing public safety in town centres throughout the summer months.
This period is one of the busiest times of the year for Cumbria Police officers and staff, with large numbers of people visiting the area to attend events and experience all that Cumbria has to offer.
With summer in full swing, officers are reminding residents and visitors how to report crime should they need to.
PCSO Robson said:
“As part of my patrols this summer I will continue to visit local retailers to provide reassurance and carry out crime enquiries.
“If you or your business experience crime or disorder, we would like to remind you to report this to police at the earliest opportunity, so that we can take appropriate measures and act on the information.”
A person or business should call 999 when:
a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed
someone is in immediate danger or harm
property is in danger of being damaged
a serious disruption to the public is likely
If your matter is not an emergency and none of the above, please report using our non-emergency online reporting form at www.cumbria.police.uk/report-it . You can also call 101.
PCSO Robson continued: “The form is an easy way to report incidents of crime to us. There are a few yes or no questions first to make sure you go to the right online form; this information is sent directly to our control room.”
