Crime rates continue to fall in North East Lincolnshire
During February, I posted a number of articles on this website about the monthly crime figures for North East Lincolnshire. January was an historic month, with crime levels at an all time low.
At this moment in time North East Lincolnshire is seeing a major impact of some very good partnership working and month on month since the middle of last year crime levels have fallen dramatically, and once again we have gone one better in February – outstripping Januarys’ best ever performance!
Last month, Chief Superintendent David Hilditch said:
“January’s figures come on top of excellent figures for October, November and December which made 2009 a very good year for us. February has got off to a good start as well.
“I would hope that we would all want to see a safe and prosperous area with low crime levels and so I am disappointed that some people choose to assume that good results for North East Lincolnshire can’t be true. We’ve got something to celebrate here.
“The story behind the figures is that we have relentlessly been targeting the top offenders and some of the prison sentences we have seen in the last year have been very pleasing. At the other end of the scale we have been working very closely with the Youth Offending Service and many other partners to keep kids out of trouble.”
