Crime: 30 September 2013  

 

Hi everyone, I am back from A/L energised and raring to go.

I have had this in from one of my members on Maidenhead:
 
Hi Jeff
In the context of marker pens available.
 
The other day I asked, who is our ‘team leader’ ?  I was told, that is the police - fine.  However, I am unable to find any way of contacting you, re property marking.  Please, how do I do this, if someone phones and asks for help with marking  ?
 
Mike
 
The answer is simple, though I don’t know what Mike means by ‘Team Leader’.  There are 2 ways.  You can email your local police Neighbourhood Team, at their group email below.  One of the PCSOs will then make contact with you and come out to help you – or you can email me and ask for a UV marker pen !  You can also go online at WWW.IMMOBILISE.COM
and register all your laptops, play stations, X boxes, phones etc. etc. etc.  If the item – for example a valuable piece of furniture / painting / antique, does not have a serial number, you can enter a description and give it a reference number of your own.  What could be simpler.
 
New Scrap Metal Dealers Act comes into force
 
From tomorrow (1/10), a new act to regulate scrap metal dealers comes into force across the Thames Valley and country-wide.
 
Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, all currently licensed scrap metal dealers, motor salvage operators, and vehicle dismantler’s are required to have a licence to trade and must apply for one, from their local authority by the deadline of 15 October.
 
If they have not obtained a licence by 1 December 2013, they face prosecution under the new Act and face a fine of up to £1,000, or conditions including restrictions to trading hours, or a Closure Order.
 
If they have applied by the deadline, they will be deemed to have a temporary licence, until the issue. If currently registered dealers, have not applied for a licence by 15 October, then they will not be able to trade until a licence is received.  Mobile collectors, must apply for a licence, in every authority area where they intend to collect scrap from.
 
Anyone not registered under the 1964 Act, will be liable to prosecution, if they trade and have not been issued with a licence, under the 2013 Act.
 
No scrap metal dealer is able to buy scrap metal with cash.
 
As of 1 October 2013, this also applies to mobile collectors who previously had exemptions to this rule.
 
Under the Act, all dealers are required to keep a record of all scrap metal they receive, process, or dispatch; including a description and weight of the metal, the date and time they received it, the name and address of the seller and any subsequent buyer, and the value of the metal.  This information must be kept for three years and be available to the local authority and police, on request.

PC PETE BULLETT HAS RECEIVED THIS FROM SURREY POLICE:
 
Dear Pete, 


I have just been made aware of the following website, which may be of interest to your watch members.
 
http://www.knowdrugs.org/
 
The website also has an app available for Apple and Android smart phones / tablets. It’s aimed at parents and has a great deal of information around drugs, their effects and first aid.

The app has been designed following discussions with parents of teenagers by Drugs Consultant Liam Watson, the Director of training agency Drugstraining.com.
The app includes a full guide to the effects of different drugs, slang terms and the key signs for parents to look out for with their teenagers. There are also a range of videos where ex-users give their own first hand experiences of using various substances including cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy.
The video question and answer section is presented by actress and television presenter Nicola Reynolds. The app also features an important step by step video guide for parents on what to do if their son or daughter has collapsed after taking drugs.
The creator of the Know Drugs app Liam Watson said: “For many parents the world of drugs can appear frightening and confusing. With new drugs and ‘legal highs’ appearing on the market every week it’s no surprise that parents often feel that their kids know more about drugs than they do. The Know Drugs app provides parents with regularly updated information about the drugs, signs to look out for and important tips on both educating and supporting their teenagers. For the first time parents can now have all the vital information they require about drugs in the palm of their hand.”
He added “We know from the feedback we have received already that parents will find the Know Drugs iPhone app very useful as a means of educating both themselves and their teenagers about drugs issues.”
‘Know Drugs’ – the Parents Guide is available from today on the Apple app store or via www.knowdrugs.org
