SAFER NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Safer Neighbourhood Officer who covers the Scriven area is PC Tim Craven based at Knaresborough Police Station.
PC Craven attends meetings whenever possible to give an update on the latest crimes in the Scriven Park Ward. He also advises and informs of any operations or initiatives aiming to reduce crime in the area.
The Police now offer a drop in service at Knaresborough Library every Thursday between 12 noon and 1pm. Everyone is welcome to go along to meet the local Community Support Officer and discuss their concerns.
While crime continues to fall in the area covered by the local police the one exception is “Criminal Damage” often against vehicles. Most of this is minor in nature but no less annoying if your vehicle is involved. The initial advice is to park off the road if possible, in a driveway or garage and ensure side mirrors are folded in against the vehicle.
Harrogate Borough Council also provide a successful “Community Safety Partnership Team”. Their web address is www.saferharrogate.org.uk. The site contains a great deal of information on how to keep both yourself and your property safe.

Crimestoppers is a national independent charity that operates an anonymous service passing information from the public through to the police. Crimestoppers do not trace or record the calls and have no idea who called them or any means of identifying the caller. Crimestoppers then pass on the intelligence to the police for them to take the appropriate action.
