Reducing harm to road users

Devon and Cornwall Police are working hard with partners to reduce incidents where people are seriously harmed or killed while using our roads. As we approach the winter period, unfortunately we typically see an increase of incidents.  We as a Police Service with our partners will running a series of events in order to educate and take action with people who may be putting people at harm. 

If you have concerns about someone who by their actions may be putting people in harms way please ensure to report it to us by our website, crime stoppers or by coming into the Police Station.

Drug use and supply

We aim to gather and act on intelligence received in all areas of the Policing sector surrounding drug use and supply. 

This involves executing Misuse of Drugs Act warrants, disruption work and also liaising with partner agencies in order to combat local drug dealing as well as County Lines. 

Often, drug use comes with additional Safeguarding concerns both for the drug user and any immediate family they may have. This is especially true in County Lines cases where young and vulnerable people are often exploited. 

St Austell Neighbourhood team is committed to tackling this issue and ensuring vulnerable people are Safeguarded and that the offenders are brought to justice.

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

St Austell Police are committed to playing our part in improving how Devon and Cornwall Police protect the public from harm, especially by combatting the violence women and girls suffer. 

We will aim to achieve this by contributing to the overall aims set out by the National Police Chiefs' Council as below:

- Improved quality of VAWG investigations: enhance professionalisation of public protection capability and a focus on staff and officer wellbeing

- Relentless pursuit of perpetrators: improved identification of repeat, high harm and predatory VAWG offenders

- Improving the digital forensic response to tackle gaps in capability and capacity to process digital evidence and respond to tech enabled VAWG

- Further partnership working on VAWG with a focus on prevention

- A keen focus on fulfilling data and intelligence gaps to inform the threat picture of VAWG
