I can assure you that dedicated enquiry teams have been set up to investigate these incidents. You may have seen in our press releases that we are not linking the two incidents in the Meadows at this time, although we will keep an open mind in that respect. </p> <p>Although some crime and anti-social behaviour does occur in the Meadows, I would stress that sexual crime is extremely rare. In response to views expressed by the local community with regards to Anti-Social Behaviour in the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links, the area and that particular issue, has been designated a 'Local Priority'. With that, we have increased foot patrols (both visible and plain clothes) and cycle patrols in the area. Given the recent incidents we have tried to bolster that further during the hours of darkness.</p> <p>In the meantime, I would encourage all people to adhere to basic crime prevention advice when walking anywhere during the hours of darkness:</p> <p>1. Where possible, try to avoid walking alone;<br /> 2. Stick to routes that are well lit or covered by CCTV;<br /> 3. Carry a mobile telephone and contact the police if you are concerned by anyone's behaviour;<br /> 4. Consider whether you would like to carry a panic alarm. (These can be purchased at minimal cost online or from your local police station.)</p> <p>Please look at our website <a href="http://www.lbp.police.uk/crime_prevention.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.lbp.police.uk/crime_prevention.aspx</a> for more information with regards to Personal Safety advice.</p> <p>Rest assured, we are doing all we can to trace those responsible for these crimes. In due course the police will work with the council, local residents, elected members, EUSA and other partner agencies to ensure long-term crime prevention measures are implemented.</p> <p>If you wish to discuss any matters further, please e-mail me your details on the address below and I will have a local officer meet with you.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Sergeant Steven Duncan<br /> Safer Neighbourhood Team - Meadows and Morningside<br /> St. Leonard's Police Station<br /> <a href="mailto:ADivSNTMeadowsMorningside@lbp.pnn.police.uk">ADivSNTMeadowsMorningside@lbp.pnn.police.uk</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4421#post-46868 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:02:30 +0000 DaveC 46868@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-15755651" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-15755651</a></p> <p>BBC </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4421#post-46858 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:23:20 +0000 DaveC 46858@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.lbp.police.uk/information/latest_news/november_2011/sexual_assault_-_edinburgh.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.lbp.police.uk/information/latest_news/november_2011/sexual_assault_-_edinburgh.aspx</a></p> <p>I thought that installing lights there 20 years ago was supposed to stop this?
