A constituent was badly shaken by a burglary in Queensbury. The local police emphasised that victims should always report incidents as they look at every single burglary report, offer to visit the victim, leaflet the street and look through CCTV. They also look for hotspots and crime trends weekly. When a hotspot or trend is identified, a policing plan is put in place. How can we get the message out there that reporting crime is a proactive and extremely helpful step for victims to take – even if it may not have instant results?
