Crime & Public Safety

Apparently, reported crime in this area is falling and Frinton-on-Sea is one of the safest places in the country. However, everyone should remain vigilant with regard to bogus callers and pickpockets, avoid providing ways in for opportunist burglars by not leaving windows open when you are out, or even opportunities for people to walk in unseen when you are at home. In other areas, pickpockets have targeted charity shops and taken things from bags of those who are browsing which proves that nowhere is completely safe.

If you would like to report an incident, there are PCSOs patrolling constantly and they can be contacted by dialling 101, or via your Local Ward Councillor whose contact details can be found on the Frinton & Walton Town Council website. Nevertheless, if it is a serious crime always ring 999 immediately. Anti-social behaviour can be reported on 01255 686359.

The FRA continues to lobby the District and Town Council's for greater policing presence in the town during times when it is needed, for example, during bank holidays, evenings and during the busy months of the year.
