“The Hoop Dreams and COOL projects are great for fitness and bringing together the local kids. But I think the longer lasting effects are seen in getting the kids off the streets and breaking down barriers with the police and broadening some horizons.”   Victoria Kitchen, Basketball Coach.

Target Hardening
Making our homes more secure is a top priority for local residents. Consequently alongside investment in CCTV, improved street lighting, and alleygates, NDC now has its own crime prevention advisor Colin Hopkins and assistant Julie Morfitt. Colin and Julie are responsible for arranging the fitting of free security measures to the homes of vulnerable people.

This project has recently been awarded a national commendation for excellent partnership work in burglary reduction.   Julie and Colin can be contacted at the Community Safety Office on 01429 855560.

Targeted Police Operations

Hartlepool Police will provide additional (targeted) patrols in hot spot areas in the New Deal area. The patrols will be a combination of overt (uniform) and covert (plain clothes) deployments. The operation is intended to improve public confidence and reduce crime and the fear of crime and reduce anti-social behaviour.
