Totton and Eling Town Council

Community Safety

Your Local Accredited Community Safety Officers

Totton & Eling Town Council is working in partnership with Hampshire County Council to provide Accredited Community Safety Officers (ACSO's) to serve the residents of Totton & Eling.

The ACSO's provide high visibility patrols in and around Totton to help prevent Anti Social Behaviour and alay fear of crime.  The officers work alongside the Police and are approved by the Chief Constable for Hampshire although they are actually employed by Hampshire County Council.

ACSO's visit schools and are available to speak at other community groups if invited.

To get in touch with your local officers please telephone 02380 667497.

Alternatively please email,

ACSO.western@hants.gov.uk

Please note that matters needing urgent Police attention such as if life is threatened, people are injured, crime is in progress or if offenders are nearby, should be reported to the Police dialing 999.

We hope that residents will help to work with us by providing additional 'eyes and ears' around the community.  Any information passed onto us will be treated in the strictest confidence.  No matter how small please report it to us, if we do not know it is happening we cannot help to deal with it.  Do not accept the unacceptable.

Current Affairs

Now that the nights have drawn in and the weather has well and truly turned for the worse, ti can only mean one thing.... The Christmas count down has begun!

Please can we remind you all to keep windows and doors locked, Christmas presents out of sight and to be extra vigilant around the Community.  If you see anyone acting suspiciously around properties or vehicles then please do telephone us or the Police.  We would rather go and investigate something innocent than allow opportunist thieves to take advantage during this festival period.

It's been a very busy year for us in Totton and Eling, dealing with local issues and concerns and also attending Community events.  Thank you to all those we have come into contact with over the last twelve months who have been supportive of our work and often provided us with information.  We look forward to continuing to work for you and with you all in the coming new year.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families and friends a very Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

See you all out and about in 2012!
