POLICING MATTERS
Police and the Safer Communities Team are regularly made aware of local incidents.
The Dossie in St Monans, however, they would like to remind residents of how important it is to report all
crimes\/incidents no matter how small you think they may be. It can be done anonymously by calling Crime
Stoppers 0800 555 111 or the non-emergency Police Scotland number 101. Just because someone else has
reported the crime doesn’t mean that you can’t do it too. The more reports received the better! This helps all
agencies build a clear picture of what is happening in these areas and can help tremendously when resources
or warrants are required to access a property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH
There are 14 volunteers to date who have registered their interest in this scheme. 5 have submitted their
paperwork and will undergo Police Scotland\u2019s vetting process. Anstruther, Cellardyke & Kilrenny CC and Elie
& Earlsferry CC have already adopted the Speed Watch Scheme so as soon as the vetting process has been
completed, volunteers can be rolled out.
Pittenweem Arts Festival are looking to recruit new volunteers for this year’s event. if you are interested,
please contact Rachael at infor@pittenweemfestival.co.uk
