Analysis of “Anti–crime Measures”
Suggestions Entries
Village bobby and patrols (included here is community policing, implying CPSO) 8
A police contact point in the village, always reliably manned 4
Deal with dog fouling 2
Be pro–active if you see something wrong 1
CCTV in Grange Park 1


Notes:

A police contact point is taken to be the same as a police station for purposes of analysis as have requests for Ilkley to be manned 24 hours a day. Not quite the same, but it makes the point about local as opposed to Keighley and quicker response times.

Village Bobby on patrol is regarded as a separate point from the above. This also includes the desire that such a service would engage the younger element, get to know trouble spots, be seen about the village and so on. Comment on these lines has been included.
