South Rutland Beat priorities - Q4 2026

*SOUTH RUTLAND BEAT PRIORITIES UPDATE*

Hi Rutland,

Those of you that recieve the monthly newsletter via Neighbourhood Link will have seen that the quarterly beat priorities remain unchanged for the rest of the year.

Beat priorities are set as result of responses to the 'Your Views' surveys sent out periodically, community consultations and crime pattern analysis.

Our Focus remains the same:

Theft and Burglary:

You said: The issues of theft and burglary, commercial burglary, but also dwelling breaks and theft offences are a priority you want us 
to work on.

What we are going to do: Overt Patrols of affected areas in line with crime pattern analysis and local intelligence, along with robust policing of suspected 
offenders and associated people involved in wider associated criminality. Keeping property safe messages reinforced through our social media channels, 
and crime prevention advice and support offered through consultations and engagements.

Rural Crime:

You said: The issue of theft of agricultural equipment and other plant from commercial farming locations, equipment being used to commit 
other offences, and livestock offences and other wildlife crime has been highlighted as a priority you want us to work on.

What we are going to do: Continue our work with partners in Community Safety, alongside other colleagues in the Rural Policing Team to identify and 
target harden vulnerable locations and properties. Crime and intelligence led overt patrols of South Rutland along with robust policing of suspected 
offenders and persons of note. We will continue to promote proactive ways to keep property safe through our social media channels, and offer crime 
prevention advice through our consultations and engagements.

Road Safety:

You said: Speeding vehicles in Rutland is a priority you want us to address across the county, but in particular the A47 corridor. along and a 
wider problem of traffic management, parking problems and associated issues on the A606 in and around Rutland Water and it’s villages and it’s 
tributaries.

What we are going to do:  As before we will provide frequent overt policing to the affected areas with marked vehicle patrols, and through the use of 
handheld speed monitoring guns. We will also continue work with our partners in road safety in order to highlight areas of concern and request 
deployment of resources, and continue education and information about responsible use of the roads via our social media channels.  

As a team we continue to be very busy with ongoing crime and ASB investigations, alongside supporting other aspects of policing, sometimes away from Rutland.

We can't do what we do without your support, so a thankyou from me, and i'll see you out and about.

Have a great day all,

PC McKinnon
