The Milton Keynes Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Emma Baillie, has issued a statement reassuring residents amid national disorder.
MP for Milton Keynes North has shared a statement that was issued by the Milton Keynes Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Emma Baillie.
The statement reads:
“As the Milton Keynes Police Commander, I have been made aware of some rumours today on some local social media groups about attacks in Milton Keynes City that are related to the national disorder. Please be assured that there is no accuracy in any of those I am aware of, and we are very proud of how our communities are pulling together as we normally do.
As reported in the press, there is a lot of misinformation out there about incidents that when checked are not true. Combatting misinformation is vital so please think and fact check before reposting anything.
It is safe to continue with your daily business and family activities.
However, if you are a witness or victim of any crime, then please ring 999 / 101 as appropriate. We are ready to act if/when required and are carrying on day to day policing in our city and surrounding areas.
Milton Keynes has been very peaceful, but we are not complacent and have plans in place to manage those risks that are identified. We will have a very low tolerance for any disorder or hate crime – we will take robust action if it occurs, but by working together and flagging intelligence up to us, we can prevent it happening at all.
Local engagement will continue and we have enhanced our patrols around potentially vulnerable locations. Please enjoy the rest of your day and if you see any of our officers out and about please come and say hello.
Best wishes,
Chief Superintendent Emma Baillie.”
