CiPD NEWSLETTER | EDITION 9 | NOVEMBER 2015
Specials' long service and good
conduct acknowledged:
On Wednesday 18th November,
Nottinghamshire Police hosted its annual
award ceremony - recognising the hard
work and bravery of Police Officers,
Volunteers and members of the public.
Daring life-saving attempts, decades of
long service and stories of bravery were
all celebrated at the ceremony which
was hosted at Albert Hall.
Amongst those receiving Chief Constable
Commendations and Coroner's awards
were an impressive 12 special constables -
whose long service and good conduct
was formally recognised on the night.
Collectively the twelve officers who
received their long service and good
conduct awards have a combined total
service of more than 133 years, with
Special Sergeant Whitworth and Special
Inspector Taylor-Walster racking up 19.1
years service each.
The officers were presented their awards
in front of an applauding audience by
Specials Chief Officer, Mark Stasuik.
Chief Constable Chris Eyre said: “Every
day our police officers, staff, volunteers
and local members of the public show
dedication and courage, making our
streets safer and changing lives for the
better. They have faced violence,
tragedy and danger, and they have
gone above and beyond expectations to
keep people safe.”
Congratulations to each and every one of
them!

As the festive period is well underway, our
Special Constables have been out in
force observing Christmas light switch on
events in Towns and local communities
across the County.
From events attracting thousands of
members of the public such as the
Newark Town Centre Christmas event to
the more smaller community organised
events such as the Bestwood Community
Christmas Concert, officers have been out in force engaging with members of the public and
providing a visible presence to ensure such events run smoothly.
Specials will continue to work with Neighbourhood Policing Teams in the run up to Christmas and
the New Year to help bolster the front line and enable the force to be there when needed most.
They'll also be supporting a number of crime-prevention initiatives over the coming weeks.

SPECIAL'S EFFORTS FORMALLY RECOGNISED BY CH/SUPT:
A Nottinghamshire Police Special Constable's work in his local community has been formally
recognised by a Chief Superintendent following a recommendation to the force's awards panel.
SC Wagstaffe, who has volunteered almost every Friday afternoon since joining the force, has
become a familiar face in the area he police's and regularly gets involved in all aspects of
neighbourhood policing initiatives such as licensing checks, speed watch initiatives, operations
and anti-social behaviour patrols.
Showing willingness throughout everything he does to support regular officers and partner
agencies, SC Wagstaffe was praised for 'Displaying a positive 'can-do' attitude and having real
team player ethos; assisting other officers to complete detailed reports and handovers'.
He was also praised for getting to know his local communities and 'keeping a sharp eye out for
known offenders whilst feeding back intelligence to local teams' as well as 'providing support to
Response Officers' and;
For 'remaining professional at all times' and 'assisting with local initiatives such as speed watch
campaigns'.
Chief Superintendent Holland Said: "Your motivation and hard work is much appreciated."

Special Constabulary [3/3] PC Nigel Hoodless | Specials Co-ordinator
Following the successful launching of our dedicated pro-
active Rural Special Constable team based at Ollerton, we're
now looking to recruit officers who will be deployed in
specific rural localities throughout Nottinghamshire.
Rural Special Constables receive the same training as our
'Regular' Specials plus take part in a two-day-long interactive
workshop which is designed to train and equip the officers
with the essential skills to fulfil the role of a Rural Special.
Our Rural Special Constables perform a wide range of duties
including re-assurance patrols, engaging with rural
communities such as farmers and landowners as well as
providing long-term solutions for issues identified within their
specified beat.
If you live in a rural location and would like to give something
back to your local community, please get in touch. Our
'Regular' Special recruitment is likely to open in March 2016.

SPECIALS BOLSTER BONFIRE NIGHT PATROLS:
City and County Special Constables helped support the front-line during bonfire night. They provided
high visibility patrols at key events across the County, including the City's biggest annual bonfire night
event and firework display at the forest recreation ground. Newark and Sherwood Specials were also out
in force, patrolling the Southwell and Newark areas and responding to anti-social behaviour incidents.

LEST WE FORGET - REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY:
Dozens of Special Constables joined Beat Managers, PCSO's and the force's volunteer Police Cadets on
Remembrance Sunday to show their support for our armed forces and the nations heroes.
Specials based in almost every part of the force were out on the day to ensure the parades taking place
around the County ran smoothly and safely.
Their support and attendance was widely welcomed and appreciated by members of the public, with
many approaching officers to thank them for their service and commitment - WELL DONE ALL!

We will remember them: Cadets
support Remembrance Sunday:
On Sunday 8th November Nottinghamshire
Police Officers, Staff and volunteers joined the
nation in paying respects to the men and
women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Amongst those showing their support for our
nations heroes were our Volunteer Police
Cadets.
Dozens of Cadets from across the County
paraded on duty to support Specials, Regular
Officers and PCSO's as they took part in
marches and parades dedicated to our
armed forces, both past and present.
Mansfield's Cadets were supported by a
number of Cadet Leaders who also took part
in the parades in Mansfield Town Centre.
Well done and 'THANK YOU' to all of our
Cadets who took part in Remembrance
Sunday. Your support and commitment was
welcomed by the force and local
communities on the day - we're PROUD of you!

Mansfield Cadets put their traffic
skills to the test:
Cadets practicing road closure and traffic control skills
Mansfield's Cadets have been putting their
road traffic skills to the test during an
interactive and informative exercise organised
by their Cadet Leaders.
The session taught the Cadets how important it
is to consider personal and public safety at the
scene of a road traffic incident and how to
effectively manage the flow of traffic as well
as how essential time is during such
occurrences.
The cadets went head-to-head in a series of
'mini challenges' which included coning off a
makeshift motorway whilst risk assessing the
'developing situations'.
PC Adam Pace, Cadet Leader at Mansfield
Said: "The Cadets really enjoyed the exercises
and were able to gain an insight into what it's
like to work on fast roads and motorways."

CLIFTON CADETS FUNDRAISING SUCCESS
On Saturday 14th November, a group of Nottinghamshire Police cadets gave up their time to
help raise money in aid of the 12th Clifton Brownies.
They took part in a 'bag-packing' event as well as an organised raffle - which raised a grand
total of £395.00.
Clifton's Brownie's leader, Jean Rogers Said: "This was a brilliant event that has really helped our
Brownies. The amount raised is a fantastic result and it means we are now able to continue
providing our sessions to the local community".
Jean continued: "We'd like to say a massive 'THANK YOU' to the Cadets who have helped us and
we look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future."
Cadet lead Matt Mason would also like to congratulate and thank the cadets for their work.
Cadets Co-ordinator Julie Berry added: "I would also like to send a massive THANK YOU to the
Clifton Cadet leaders for organising and attending this event with the Cadets, without your
support this wouldn't have been possible - well done to the whole Clifton team - you've done a
great job!
Neighbourhood Watch Practical and financial help is at hand to set up new schemes
Head to www.Nottswatch.com for more information about the NHW scheme
In September's CiPD Newsletter we summarised the benefits enjoyed by residents who are
members of a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. Some of you could well be part of such a
scheme, but you or your friends/relatives may live in streets that do not offer this protection and
are missing out on the benefits we described – but all is not lost!
Starting a new Neighbourhood Watch Scheme:
If you would like to know more about setting up a new scheme, consider these points:
1. We can currently cover the set up costs for new schemes throughout the county – subject
to the availability/terms of our funding.
2. Nottinghamshire Neighbourhood Watch can help you. View our multi-purpose website at
www.nottswatch.co.uk to be able to:
• Register for free alerts
• Find out if there is already a NHW scheme on your street – if so, join it.
• If not, look at our resource which explains all about our website and how to set up a
new scheme.
Email us at [email protected] with any questions and please help us preserve the future
of Neighbourhood Watch, within the city & county, by spreading the word!
On another issue, following publication of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Comprehensive
Spending Review, the national Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network has issued the
following statement:
“After receiving the good news revealed on police budgets on Wednesday 25th November
2015, we will have to wait to hear how the spending review will impact on individual police
forces and how Chief Constables and Police & Crime Commissioners react.
In these troubled times, it is important to remember the value of voluntary organisations such as
Neighbourhood Watch, whose members alone contributed the equivalent of £1 billion in time
last year.
Without strongly developed community cohesion, the opportunity for criminal activity at all
levels, from theft to terrorism, from fraud to child sexual exploitation, increases considerably. A
pound spent on prevention can be worth a hundred pounds down the line dealing with the
effects of criminal activity.”
Within NottsWatch we encourage all Neighbourhood Watch schemes to continue to fully co-
operate with Neighbourhood Policing initiatives as part of our joint effort to safeguard local
communities.

Stay safe online - Advice: CiPD supports force's online safety campaign:
Children and Young People Debbie Barton-Moran | Children & Young People
Kathleen Faulconbridge | Children & Young People
The Citizens in Policing Department has been
working closely with Corporate
Communications and various other
departments to support the force's internet /
online safety campaign - aimed at making
people aware of the very real risks associated
by being connected to the internet - and
simple solutions to prevent becoming a victim
of crime.
Over the coming months, the CiPD will be
working closely with officers from across the
force to help promote this campaign and we
hope to see some of our Special Constables
and Police Cadets attend major technology
outlets such as Curry's and PC World to help
raise awareness and provide children and their
parents with information and handouts on how
they can stay safe whilst surfing online. We look
forward to announcing further information as
this new initiative develops.
Corporate Communications have also
pieced together an advice guide on how
you can protect yourself online:

information and tips on how to help keep
children safe online by visiting:
