Information on the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) can be found on the Essex Police website www.essex.police.uk Once on to the site simply add your postcode to the link and you will be able to get all the information on your NPT. Regarding Neighbourhood Watch in Good Easter we have a team of 5 volunteers who deliver information to local residents. This information covers crimes that occur and also crime reduction advice. It is a well known fact that if everyone took onboard this advice then incidents of crime would be seriously reduced. One of the worst crimes that occur are Distraction Burglaries / Bogus callers. Those who commit this type of crime always target the elderly or vulnerable residents. They often work in pairs and claiming to be from the Waterboard etc. Quite often whilst one is keeping you talking at your front door the other one enters your property through your rear door. It is important that the rear of properties are secure at all times. Many residents call Neighbourhood Watch if they are unsure of someone at the door. The contact number for Good Easter Neighbourhood Watch is 01245 231704 We can all work together in partnership to keep Good Easter a safe and pleasant place to live.
