J J ® 1 Crime detection as figures hit record high


A RECORD number of offences are being brought to justice in Lancashire. Figures just released show there were


more than 33,000 "sanctioned" detec­ tions in the county in the 12 months ending on November 30th. A sanctioned detection is recorded where at least one person responsible for


a crime that has been reported to the police is either convicted at court, cau­ tioned, reprimanded, finally warned, given a penalty notice, or has the offence taken into consideration by a court while being sentenced for another


offence. Insp. John Clucas said: "Sanctioned


detections increase the number of offences brought to justice. Here in Lancashire we are moving towards our target of an 11% improvement by March 31st, 2005, and are confident we will achieve it In addition, we are also increasing the proportion of sanctioned detections per crime reported.


‘Tins is because the sanctioned detec­ ___ . , i.1______ rlat-of. “As an examnle. we have madp Hio


tion rate is seen as a cornerstone of increasing public confidence in the crim­ inal justice system and there has been a real effort right across the force. We are also keen to try to make our officers more visible and keep them in the com­ munity rather than in police stations.


“As an example, we have made the


custody office process more efficient and now have support staff doing paper­ work previously done by officers. This has allowed officers to return to front­ line duties enabling us to arrest more suspected offenders and deal with more of them on the street if approprate."

Church. Whilst Mr Ridley was at Ingold-

more rural setting and looking after four churches instead of one. “However, I have a few years of


experience behind me and am heartened by what I have seen and heard so far. “Once I start my new job, for the


first few weeks I just want to sit back and watch and get to know people in the community. “I want to get a feel for the place


and bring the local community as close together as I can so that we can all w’ork as a big team.” Born in the village of Kippax,


near Leeds, and brought up in Cat- terick in Swaledale, Mr Ridley’s first post was at Armley in Leeds, where he worked part-time in the


prison there. A few years later, he moved to

the Ribble Valley with his wife, Sally, who teaches in the nursery at Giggleswick School, and his two daughters, Polly and Harriet. Commenting on the move, he


said: “We love Settle, but it is time to move on. I t is time to take on more responsibility and we hope to tackle the huge task and share the journey ahead with our new Ribble Valley friends.” The couple are also looking for­


ward to appointing a colleague, who will live at Hurst Green and


work part-time. A welcome service will be held on


March 22nd at 7-30 p.m. at the parishes to greet the new family.


Hard-hitting video tackles asbestos peril


A HARD-HITTING video on the risks associated with asbestos is available for loan froin Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil’s Environmental Health Depart­


ment. The video, which has been produced


by the Health and Safety Executive, takes a no-nonsense look at the biggest cause of occupational health deaths in the UK. More than 500,000 industrial and public buildings in the UK and nearly every building over 10 years old I in the Ribble Valley may contain


asbestos. Building and maintenance workers


such as plumbers, electricians and car­ penters who carry out work in them are often completely unaware of its pres­ ence and can be exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos fibre as a result. The video provides a hard-hitting


portrayal of the final days in the life of a building worker suffering from asbestos-related mesothelioma and out­ lines new responsibilities under the Control of Asbestos at Work Regula­


tions 2002. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s


senior environmental health officer, Mr Eamonn Roberts, said: “Asbestos-relat­ ed disease is the biggest occupational health killer in the UK and the new legal duty to manage asbestos in non- domestic premises seeks to prevent fur­ ther exposure to asbestos with the aim of saving five thousand lives over the next 50 years.” If you would like to borrow the video,


called “How Are You Managing?”, or require further information on asbestos, contact Mr Roberts on 01200 4144G8.


Police hold meeting THE Lancashire Police Authority is hold­ ing a community meeting for people of the Ribble Valley next Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Read CE School, Straits Lane.
