Basildon District

Welcome to the Basildon district web page.

District Commander update

Basildon is a vibrant part of South Essex and continues to offer a variety of opportunity and challenges.

2012 offered many policing challenges. Challenges included the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, The Olympic Torch Relay and supporting the policing response the Olympic and Paralympics Games. We have taken part in a number of partnership initiatives and policed many events across the District. As we go into 2013 I will continue to drive the team towards reducing crime, anti-social behaviour and providing an excellent service. Going into the last quarter of the year we are progressing well towards achieving a reduction across all crime and anti-social behaviour but there is still much work to do.

Burglary of a persons home is a despicable crime and one that far too often affects people within Basildon. I appeal to everybody to report suspicious behaviour either in person, over the telephone or via crime stoppers. Please pass any criminal intelligence you may have onto us so that we can deal with it appropriately. It may be the last piece of a jigsaw that enables us to act to prevent further offences.

I will continue to review our business and refresh methods to make us as efficient as possible. We will ensure that we provide the best possible service and we will communicate with victims, partners and the wider community to reassure and update. We will be visible within the community and develop relationships with all groups within the community.

I would ask that you join us as we continue to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour within your area. Please report suspicious behaviour, tell us about those who effect your quality of life and impart information that will assist us in bring criminals to justice. You can do this by contacting the local officers for your area, stopping and speaking with one of the team out on patrol or by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
