Truro Police station

Yesterday I went to visit Inspector Mark Richards at Truro Police Station. It was really encouraging to see that there had been an overall decrease in the number of all crimes in his patch.

The biggest problem is that of anti social behaviour usually fuelled by alcohol. This seems to be a major problem throughout the UK. Mark Richards told me that they had put more community police officers out in teams across the his patch to counter these issues. It's obviously a bit of an uphill battle.

I want to tell older people that they can certainly sleep safe in their beds in Cornwall. Domestic burglaries are very very low. The reality is that no-one wants to buy old TV's or electrical equipment. But best keep your credit cards safe!
