News 9th December 2009	Safer Neighbourhood Teams In order to strengthen our Safer Neighbourhood Teams and their communications with their local Parish Councils we are keen to develop a team of volunteers who will keep us updated with Local Community Profiles. A local person is required to volunteer to join a team. The Neighbourhood Profile is a crime prevention scheme that has been initiated by the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) under the Citizens Focus and Neighbourhood Policing Programme. It will provide a detailed baseline picture of the community. This would help the police and partners in recognising and responding to change and helping in the prevention of crime. The volunteer will be given a list of information required relating to your local parish; example such as;- Neighbourhood Boundaries (broad geography and relationship to surrounding areas). Housing types Neighbourhood Services (commercial, sport, entertainment, education, faith centres, retail, etc) Organisations (local authority, community groups, faith groups, etc) When the team is assembled local meetings will be arranged with volunteers to explain in more detail their role & content of the guide. The task will involve the completion of an initial questionnaire and then a regular update 2 or 3 times a year. If anyone would like to volunteer please contact Sutton-in-Craven Parish Council on 01535 633972.
