Minutes:
The Group considered a written update from Police
Scotland, providing information around the impact of Covid-19; future planning
for the COP26 Climate Change Conference being held in Glasgow in November 2021;
work around increased visitor numbers to the area; fraud prevention; online
child exploitation; local crime figures; a national metal theft campaign; and
the Keep Safe initiative providing safe places for vulnerable people to seek
support.
PC Laura Evans provided the Group with information
around the Herbert Protocol and the new Suicide Bereavement Support Service,
encouraging partners to highlight and engage with these initiatives. It was
agreed that PC Evans would provide information in relation to these initiatives
to be shared with the Group.
Discussion took place around the best way to share
information around fraud prevention with the community and steps which should
be taken when someone was thought to have been the victim of fraud. PC Evans
noted that Sergeant Littlejohn had provided face-to-face support to the
Garelochhead Station Trust around this following the last meeting of the Group,
and agreed to arrange similar support for Grey Matters Active Ageing as
requested.
Decision
The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning
Group considered and noted the information provided.
