Crime Type and ASB Charts for Bude Rural

In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.
From May 2013, the following changes were made to the crime categories:
I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".
The Economic Policy Centre www.economicpolicycentre.com has made every effort in order to ensure that the data for UkCrimeStats is accurate and up to date. However, we are aware of certain deficiencies in this data which are beyond our control. That's because as a 3rd party developer, we do not collect the data, the Police do who then hand it over to another data company to release to 3rd party developers such as ourselves. We only download and analyse it so that you can use it. For full detail of these deficiencies, please read here.
The Bude Rural Beat covers around 100 square miles of some of the most isolated communities in the county.
The beat area includes the parishes of Morwenstow, Kilkhampton, Launcells, Marhamchurch, Poundstock, North Tamerton, Whitstone, Week St. Mary, Jacobstow and Boyton and miles upon miles of beautiful beaches and coastline.
The Neighbourhood Beat Team for the Bude Rural Beat consists of PC Nick Jessop, the Neighbourhood Beat Manager and Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Sarah Ross supervised by Sergeant Johnny Haynes.
The beat is fortunate to have a relatively low crime rate and the main problems for the team are speeding traffic and minor youth disorder.
As with most of the force area the summer brings a massive influx of visitors to the many campsites and holiday homes which can cause problems in itself.
The beat area is currently the pilot and development area for Community Speed Watch which is being shown as an effective tool for educating speeding drivers.
Also the beat is the home of the Bude Rural Inter Parish Shields (BRIPS) which has been successfully run 4 times a year, though last year the weather had a severe affect and we had only one meeting. Farm Watch is also being developed to assist the local farming communities.
There is a very strong volunteer culture in Bude and its surrounding areas. There are more Police Volunteers helping in our community than anywhere else in the whole of Devon and Cornwall.
Crime rates are amongst the lowest in Cornwall and the Constabulary area as a whole.
There are numerous ways to get in touch with the team. You can email through this website, call the team on 01288 357502 (non urgent) or drop a letter or PACT postcard into the Police or PACT Post Boxes in most of our rural Post Offices.
