Dear East Winch Parish Council,
I hope you are all well.
I am a student police officer currently based at Hethersett Old Hall.
Upon the completion of my training, I will be stationed in King’s Lynn. As such, I am researching local crime in the surrounding villages as part of my evidenced based policing assessment.
According to open-source data, 29.4% of all crimes committed in the Dersingham and Gayton policing ward in December 2023 were burglaries. This included villages like East Winch. This contrasts with the average of 6.5% over the last 12 months. I am keen to investigate this for my assessment.
I therefore wondered if any residents had spoken about this trend? If so, I would be keen to understand the impact of these crimes on local people, what the police response has been like, what residents would like the police to do, and any other information you may be able to add
For clarity, as a student officer, I am not seeking out personal or confidential information for this research.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards,
PC 2623 Jacob Reeder
Student Officer.
