Visible Patrols and Tight Plans in Place

In a bid to reassure locals, Sussex Police have launched a strong, visible presence across communities. This move is part of well-drilled plans to tackle incidents quickly and effectively. While unconfirmed reports swirl online about suspicious activity in Sussex, the police are rigorously reviewing intelligence and working closely with partners to nip issues in the bud. Verified updates will come through local news and Sussex Police’s own social media channels.

Top Brass Urge Calm and Cooperation

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Court stressed the need to question and verify online claims. He pleaded with the public to report any suspicious behaviour properly.

“We recognise recent events nationwide have left some communities, especially people of colour and Muslims, feeling unsafe,” said ACC Court. “Rest assured, racist and criminal acts won’t be tolerated. We’re working hard to protect you and ensure offenders are brought to justice.”

He issued a stark warning to troublemakers:

“Be in no doubt. We will make you regret your actions. We will use every power available to hold you accountable.”

Community Engagement and Vigilance Urged

Sussex’s neighbourhood officers are actively engaging with residents. Locals are encouraged to approach them with concerns. The public is urged to stay alert and report suspicious activity promptly online, by dialling 101, or calling 999 in emergencies. When reporting, quote Operation Skylark to ensure swift action.
