MyMK has ramped up its support to local businesses by bringing back the undercover My Local Bobby team. The Prolific Crime Team (PCT), which made a big impact last June, have been out on in MK again, in plain clothes, since 22 November, spotting troublemakers and trying to prevent crimes, in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
They will work closely with the My Local Bobby team, as well as with centre security teams and Thames Valley Police.
The PCT has a few key jobs to focus on:
Undercover Patrols & Stopping Offenders: Team members will blend in with shoppers, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. When they spot trouble, they’re ready to step in, catch offenders, and prevent theft right on the spot.
Collecting Evidence: Using body-worn cameras and grabbing CCTV footage, the team will collect the evidence needed to help build strong cases for court.
Getting Stolen Goods Back: Whenever they recover stolen items, they'll hold onto them as evidence, and whenever possible, get them back to the stores quickly.
The decision to bring back the Prolific Crime Team demonstrates a continued commitment to making Milton Keynes City Centre a safe place for businesses, their staff and their customers.
