You may have seen a couple of new faces around Burngreave this September. PC Jonathan Simpson has left the area and has been replaced by PC Ian Talbot who started his new role in August 2007.
Ian is an experienced officer who has worked at Attercliffe for the past two years during which time he has worked extensively in the Pitsmoor and Burngreave areas.
The team has also welcomed a new PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) Supervisor, Lyndsay Cutler, who has supervisory responsibility for four PCSO officers working in the Burngreave area. Lyndsay has come from Barnsley where she has had considerable experience in working with problems concerning anti-social behaviour and the development of community issues.
The Burngreave and Pitsmoor areas continue to be low crime areas. As with other areas in Sheffield it has recently been subject to a spate of lead thefts. Individuals have been arrested in respect of these thefts and the property has been recovered.
Dene Tingle, the Crime Reduction Officer for the Safer Neighbourhood area, has been engaged to offer advice to people who have been the subject of these crimes.
