•Notes from PACT Meeting - April 2012
The figures shown are for Northowram & Shelf ara only;

PACT and Police Update – Insp. Colin Skeath - Sept 12th 2012
Insp. Skeath began by informing residents that crime was falling across all areas of North and East Halifax. Good news includes:
Four arrests have been made for recent cross border burglaries in the area. The alleged offenders are currently on bail and have been charged with burglary dwelling offences.
POCA – Proceeds of Crime Act. This is a very useful tool and officers have targets to achieve. The money retrieved is used to fight crime and is split between the police and the council.
In respect of anti social and threatening behaviour, Insp. Skeath asked residents pass information, including names where known to him at the end of meeting. Residents commented that good local youth provision was the key to tackling this problem and it was a shame that the proposed local youth club did not come off. Liz agreed and explained that unfortunately this was due to lack of volunteers and not lack of input from Children and Young Peoples Services. This Council service could not provide additional service beyond their Friday night mobile youth provision, but Chris Eves has confirmed that the service would support any future volunteers with training and support as has happened during the last 12 months. Cllr Caffrey also informed the meeting about a meeting he would be attending about the proposed skate park in Shelf. Residents asked if any POCA money can used for youth provision but unfortunately it can’t. Discussions were also held about the Victim Support Charge. Liz advised residents about the council’s Small Grants Scheme for small projects. Speak to her later for details if required.
Northowram NPT Team : Insp. Skeath explained that there was a dedicated team of the following:
Sgt. Rob Barton
PC Mark Nicholson
PCSO Brian Russell
However, he stressed that this team had the full support of the West Yorkshire Police and officers from other teams when not on duty - so residents will see other police officers in the ward.
