Humber-talking has set our priorities, this month we are to:
- Tackling ASB, reducing damage and Arson
Action - Humberside Police’s Halloween campaign aimed at helping to combat burglary offences, help reduce incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour and to provide advice and support to the local communities.
Officers from neighbourhood policing teams will be going out and speaking to schools across the force about anti-social behaviour and encouraging youngsters to enjoy the festivities without becoming a nuisance in their neighbourhood.
Retailers are reminded of their responsibility not to sell flour and eggs to youngsters on the run up to Halloween and Mischief Night. Posters available from My Community Alert
Our officers are also committed to eradicating the harm that the illegal and anti-social use of off-road bikes cause to the communities through our Operation Yellowfin.
Anyone who wishes to report anti-social or criminal behaviour can contact The Police on 101 or East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 393939
- Preventing Residential dwelling Burglaries
Is anybody home?
Lock your doors at all times; even when you leave briefly, are outside on your property, or inside your home. Also, keep your valuables in a safe or lockbox when you go out.
- Lights - You can get plug-in timers for your lamps - and timers for your ceiling lights. Don't just light up the hall. Fool a burglar by lighting up the landing, bathroom, bedroom and living room too. Really fox him by varying the times each light comes on.
- Sound advice - Use a plug-in timer for a radio - make it a talk station rather than music.
- Windows - Remember to shut all windows, even small and upstairs ones, when you leave the house, in your garden or in the rear of your property. If you're upstairs, close your downstairs windows and if you're planning some time away, get a trusted neighbour to shut the curtains at night. You could return the favour some time!

- Tackling Rural Crime:
Rural crime is not limited to the farm yard. Serious and organised crime groups are often linked to rural and wildlife crime particularly in relation to theft of agricultural machinery and poaching like hare coursing.
Holderness patrols are reminding farmers to review their security and to keep their properties/equipment safe.
In relation to the security of Tractor GPS Receiver and Screens, please visit the Police website for crime prevention advice around MARK IT, REMOVE IT and LOCK IT.
ACTION: work with partner agencies to protect the community and detect crime, including the Rural Crime Task Force, Farm Watch, NFU and Young Farmer Clubs.
How you can help
Your local Neighbourhood Policing Team appreciates the importance of being in the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons to reassure the public, improve public confidence and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the area in which we all live and work.
We encourage all residents to call and report any issues where they live so that we can deal with any issues and step up our patrols in that area.
If you feel that there are other issues affecting you or your local community that should be given priority, please inform your local councillors or your Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Before setting off
Leave any valuables such as electronic devices, jewellery and credit cards at home; only take what you absolutely need and remember to lock all windows and doors before you set off.
Getting to Hull Fair
Drinking alcohol on buses is prohibited. Anyone caught trying to carry alcohol on to the buses will be refused entry and anyone caught drinking alcohol on a bus will be asked to get off. While on the buses respect the rights of other passengers by keeping noise down to a minimum.
If you drive to the fair park in a well-lit busy area and make a note of where you are parked.
When you leave your car ensure nothing is on view, remove all valuables.
While at Hull Fair
Keep your money and mobile phones in a safe and secure place.
Consider wearing clothes that have pockets with zips or using a money belt to keep your property safe.
If you see anything suspicious report it immediately to a Police Officer.
If attending the fair with small children consider using a wrist link or harness to prevent them wandering off. Also give children guardian contact details to carry, so any children who become lost can be reunited with their guardians quickly.
Make sure you are familiar with the location of the Police, First Aid and Lost/Found Children Offices.
Getting home from Hull Fair
Have a pre-arranged meeting place to go to in the event of you become separated from friends/relatives.
If travelling by bus, ensure you keep enough money aside for your bus fare home. Be sure where, and which bus, you need to get on in advance.
Tell Someone: do you have the missing puzzle piece?
Over the course of September, we have been running our Tell Someone campaign; a campaign centred around supporting victims of sexual offences to speak up about what happened to them.
But if you don't want to talk to us, or if you want extra support, there are lots of people who can help.
You're in control, and it's up to you who you talk to and what help you get.
You can speak to these people and organisations privately and confidentially, and unless they think someone is in serious danger, they won't share anything with us. Visit www.humberside.police.uk/police-forces/humberside-police/areas/campaigns/campaigns/tell-someone/ for details.
