Update

The Behave Or Be Banned (BOBB) scheme in Braintree is currently working well. We have 26 pubs who have signed up to the scheme.

This enables us, together with Pubwatch members, to ban people from licensed premises (who are part of BOBB/Pubwatch) if they have committed certain crimes within a bar or club.

There are currently 10 people on the scheme who have been banned for various amounts of time from entering pubs/clubs.

As a team we are always keen to identify people that cause anti-social behaviour in the area. Over the past few months the Braintree town team has worked hard to reduce the amounts of anti-social behaviour incidents being reported with Braintree town area.

We are asking everyone to keep an eye on your neighbour’s property; remember we are just a phone call away. Also please remember to lock and secure your car and put your keys in a safe place within your house and out of view. It’s not much effort to avoid being a victim and being caused considerable inconvenience.

If you see any suspicious activity, please call us. If something is happening that looks odd, or out of the ordinary, there may well be something going on. We would rather attend to investigate at the time, than hear from victims in the morning.

We would like to remind all visitors to Braintree town to be aware of purse dippers who have been operating throughout the county. Please ensure bags and purses are kept secure and within sight at all times.

If you would like any advice regarding this issue please feel free to contact our team. We will also be offering crime prevention advice at our beat surgeries. Dates can be found on the events tab.

You can take action in a number of ways to help make your neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
