District commander update

Above: Chief Insp Nick Lee
I took over the role of District Commander for Braintree on January
4, 2010 and am really pleased to be here as I also live in
Braintree and use all of the services in the area.
I intend to focus on reduction of crime and anti-social
behaviour as well as delivering the best service possible to all
members of the community.
Your policing team and I are working hard to improve the service
we deliver to you and to meet all the standards set out
in the Policing Pledge. If you are concerned about the quality of
service you have received from us or have any suggestions on how we
can improve please contact the team direct on the phone numbers
listed on this website. If you prefer to write a letter, please
address to:

The Braintree district is a low crime area compared to other
similar areas in the country. This is great news but it’s not a
reason to become complacent. I will work with the whole community
and the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership to keep things
this way and make the area even safer.
I am concerned about serious crime such as house burglaries and
violent assaults that seriously affect people’s lives. I intend to
make sure that police resources focus on these crime types and good
support is given to victims.
I would welcome your support in the fight against crime and
anti-social behaviour. You can do this by joining your
neighbourhood watch, becoming a Special Constable or calling us and
passing on any information you might have.
Defeating criminals is too important to be left to the police alone
and I would like the whole community to join me.
