Officers made 29 arrests across Wealden last week.
10 arrests were for assault in Hailsham, Polegate, Crowborough, Uckfield, Westham and Forest Row. One of which was assault of an emergency worker.
We arrested an individual for the supply of class A drugs in Herstmonceux.
6 of these arrests were on the roads: 1 for drug driving, 2 for drink driving, 1 for dangerous driving, 1 failed to provide a preliminary test and another failed to stop when requested.
Other offences included drunk and disorderly, GBH, harassment, and controlling behaviour.
Today, we remember the 11 people who tragically lost their lives in the Shoreham Airshow disaster on this day 10 years ago.
At 1.22pm, we will be pausing to reflect with a two-minute silence. Our thoughts remain with all the families, communities and the emergency services personnel affected.
On Wednesday 20th August officers attended a community event at Roebuck Park Cricket Ground in Hellingly, where we had the pleasure of engaging with local families and children.
We gave the children the chance to explore our police car, try on uniform, and ask plenty of great questions about policing and what we do in the community.
It was brilliant to see such a great turnout and to connect with so many local residents in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, we loved meeting you! 💙
PCSO Jackson met with staff, residents and relatives at Lydfords Care Home in East Hoathly this week.
We shared vital tips on how to stay safe from scams - especially those targeting older and vulnerable individuals.
We also discussed how the Herbert Protocol can support families and carers if a loved one with dementia goes missing.
PCSO Jackson will be visiting again on the 14th November, between 14:00-16:00. If you missed it this time, come and see us again in November!
