In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.
From May 2013, the following changes were made to the crime categories:
I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".
The Economic Policy Centre www.economicpolicycentre.com has made every effort in order to ensure that the data for UkCrimeStats is accurate and up to date. However, we are aware of certain deficiencies in this data which are beyond our control. That's because as a 3rd party developer, we do not collect the data, the Police do who then hand it over to another data company to release to 3rd party developers such as ourselves. We only download and analyse it so that you can use it. For full detail of these deficiencies, please read here.
Located on the South coast of Devon, Salcombe is equidistant from Plymouth, Torbay and the A38. It has a population of approximately 1,500, which increases considerably during the summer months.
Ours is one of four Neighbourhood Teams, which are supervised by Sergeant Dave Green of Kingsbridge Police Station. The Salcombe Neighbourhood Team is based at Salcombe Harbour Office , which can be found in Whitestrand Car Park.
In addition to Salcombe Town, we also have responsibility for the rural communities of Malborough, South Huish, South Milton, Thurlestone, West Alvington and Churchstow.
Salcombe is a safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime falling well below the national average. In addition, incidents of serious crime are very low indeed.
The main problems are incidents of antisocial behaviour and inappropriate consumption of alcohol in public places, which take place mainly in the summer months. In addition, there is some concern about fear of crime in the area and theft of marine equipment (marine crime), which we also aim to address.
We attend a number of Town and Parish Council meetings throughout the year and are also regular visitors to various coffee mornings where people have a chance to discuss any issues with us.
