HOW and WHEN to Contact the Police

Dial 999 (the emergency number) if:

  • A life is in danger
     
  • A serious offence is in progress
     
  • A suspect is at the scene
     
  • An alleged offender is identified at any location
     
  • There is an imminent likelihood of violence/damage to persons/property
     
  • There is a serious road traffic collision

    Dial 0345 456 456 4 (the non-emergency number) on all other occasions.

    (As this is an 0345 number it should allow people with free local calls to call for free as 0345 calls are classed as local.
    This deal is included in many landline and mobile packages.)

    Although we have some contact details including email addresses and mobile phone numbers, the sergeant who oversees Milton asked that following caveat be added:

    The details are to enable local residents to contact their community officers to discuss local issues such as community engagement. Should anyone wish to contact the police to report a crime or ongoing live incident then the local call number 0345 456 456 4* or in an emergency 999.

    This will allow the proper resources to be allocated to your call. If a resident emails a local officer to deal with an immediate issue, then they must be made aware that the officer might not be on duty at that time and could even be on leave.

    I am keen for residents to utilise their community officers when possible yet I am also aware that some people call the police requesting to speak to a local officer for advice. This does not necessarily mean that it needs being dealt with by a community officer

    Neighbourhood Panel Meetings

    The police hold Neighbourhood Panel Meetings (advertised on the parish notice boards and village website) at various venues throughout the year. If you have any concerns about community safety issues such as crime, anti-social behaviour, road safety and traffic management, as well as other matters that can impact upon our community, you are urged to attend. The more residents from Milton who attend the more likely that Milton issues will become high priorities.

    All meetings start at 7.30pm, with an informal meet and greet with the agencies from 7pm. Scheduled meeting dates are as follows:
     

  • Tuesday 13 April at Impington Village College
     
  • Tuesday 13 July at Cottenham Village College
     
  • Tuesday 12 October at Impington Village College

    Neighbourhood Watch Scheme

    The Police Liaison Group from the Parish Plan has set up a new Neighbourhood Watch Scheme for Milton. The aim is to bring local people closer together with common goals: to tackle crime and disorder and to keep an eye on each other's property.

    The Neighbourhood Watch has its own website
