ENFIELD police are to introduce a new pilot scheme to deal with reported burglaries in an effort to ensure better use of resources.

The introduction of the scheme, which will run from December 3 to 24, will introduce a telephone selection process to determine the urgency of your call.

PCs will still be called out to cases of aggravated burglaries and distraction burglaries but in other cases the caller will be visited by an identification officer.

Telephone calls can be made to the control room between the hours of 8.30am and 9.30pm but any calls made after 9.30pm will be dealt with the next morning.
