While Halloween is a time for fun, it is also important that we all take a few extra precautions to keep ourselves and our communities safe.

Top Tips:

🚗 Drivers please slow down in residential areas and keep an eye out for children who may appear excited or distracted.

🔦 Stay visible by carrying a torch or reflective clothing.

🍬 Check all treats and be mindful of allergies or choking hazards.

🏠 Respect peoples homes and only approach if it is clear that trick or treating is wanted. Never enter someone's home and remember that not everyone wants to take part.

🐶 Keep chocolate and sweets away from animals and remember that doorbells, costumes and extra visitors can cause anxiety to our furry friends.

Whether you are trick or treating, welcoming visitors or simply enjoying the evening at home. We wish you all a safe and happy Halloween 🕷️

🩷 ⭐ Forever Stars Charity Walk ⭐ 🩵

⭐ On the 9th of October, Sgt Sumpter and PCSO Doar were involved in a 26 mile walk from The Harrington Arms in Sawley going into Nottingham and then finishing at the Boat and Horses in Beeston.

⭐ Officers from SNT walked the Long Eaton Stretch of the walk to Cranfleet Lock, where we waved the walkers off for their next 24 miles.

⭐ Forever Stars are a charity dedicated to supporting families who've experienced stillbirth, infant loss, and perinatal or neonatal death.

⭐ It was a pleasure to be part of such an amazing fundraising event.

Another illegal bike seized 🚲 🚨

Officers have sighted this bike being driven in an antisocial and dangerous manner on New Tythe Street in Long Eaton.

These bikes are not just a nuisance when they are being ridden illegally and irresponsibly. They can cause a significant concern for residents and put pedestrians and other road users at risk.

We receive numerous complaints about this from members of the community and have been taking action when it is safe to do so.

We have been reading your comments on previous posts about why we focus on motoring offences when there are other crimes to deal with. The reality is that of course we also attend other incidents, medical emergencies and community events.

Thank you to those that continue to make reports and provide information that helps keep Long Eaton safe 🚔

What have Long Eaton SNT been up to today? 🚔

Our officers have been out and about on foot listening to residents talk about local concerns, from these conversations we have been undertaking actions to tackle the issues that residents have raised.

Here is a look into what one day on Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team looks like.

12pm - Began duty with a team meeting. We discussed recent incidents, intelligence and locally identified problems.
1pm - Officers stopped a vehicle for driving through a red light on Wilsthorpe Road, checks later revealed the driver had no insurance so the car was seized as a result. The two males were also stop searched based on recent intelligence.
2:30pm - PC Stapley and PCSO Cottingham visited a local secondary school for a meeting with the safeguarding team to discuss recent matters.
4pm - All officers conducted a search alongside our partner agencies of an address following recent intelligence regarding weapons, on this occasion, nothing was located within the address.
6pm - PCSO Rodgers located a missing child in the Long Eaton area and was assisted by PC Sheldon, PC Stapley and our local response units who returned the child home.
7pm - PC Sheldon and PC Stapley conducted night-time speed checks in our hotspot speeding areas, issued tickets for two drivers who were exceeding 40mph in a 30mph zone. They also offered words of advice to other road users. One driver was found to have incorrect documentation resulting in them being uninsured for that vehicle.
8pm - A blue moped failed to stop for PC Dickinson and PCSO Cottingham in the Petersham area, which headed into Sandiacre and was driving in an antisocial and dangerous manner. After using local knowledge, the bike was located at an address in Sandiacre. This bike was notified off road and therefore being driven without insurance. The bike was seized.

This week officers from Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team have participated in a multi agency training operation involving multiple agencies including Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire & Leicestershire Fire Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service along with several role actors that kindly gave up their time to volunteer and role play for the the operation.

Officers joined the training operation to reflect a real life major incident, this was a great way to put joint working into practice and work along side colleagues from agencies that we don't usually see day to day.

Officers from Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team thoroughly enjoyed the exercise and many learning points were taken from the operation and we look forward to future partner training operations.

Have a restful and safe weekend from Long Eaton SNT 🚨
