Everyone who lives and works in Aberdeenshire has a role to play.
Have you ever come across something that seems ‘dodgy’ but you’re not very sure? Do you sometimes have concerns when you’re out and about through your work but there’s no immediate threat to anyone’s safety? Are you unsure of who you’d tell about a criminal issue that doesn’t impact any vulnerable people but is worrying none-the-less?
As Detective Sergeant Brian Cumming explains: “Trust your gut instinct: it’s usually right. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is – and the worst part is that someone is usually being exploited as a result of it.”
If you notice anything untoward, no matter how small, email dionortheast@scotland.pnn.police.uk
The intelligence gathered by Brian’s team can all contribute towards painting a bigger picture of what’s happening across Aberdeenshire and ensuring further investigation takes place where necessary. All information provided will be treated with the strictest confidence.
What do we mean by serious organised crime?
How does serious organised crime impact on our communities?
Let’s help to stop SOCGs getting a foothold within our communities. Please use the dionortheast@scotland.pnn.police.uk to inform Brian’s team about anything relating to SOCGs you may be aware of or notice in future. Remember, however, if you see something that requires immediate police attendance, call 999 or continue to use 101 to report non-emergency issues.
