During the month of October 2026, officers in the Braunton area responded to 78 logs.
This number does not include the incidents where Braunton Officers have been needed to assist in neighbouring areas.
This number is down 9.3% from the same period in 2025, which equates to 8 less reports.
These logs include, but not limited to:
6 Concern for Welfare
8 Domestic related
4 Missing Persons
7 Reports of Violence
1 Animal/Wildlife Reports
0 Criminal Damage
2 ASB
18 Highway disruptions/Road Offences (Not including speeding or RTC)
4 RTC
1 Sudden Death
1 Theft
As an Incident type that is asked about on here a lot, I have also now included Theft. This includes all types of theft reports including burglaries, robberies, shoplifting, and general theft.
A large proportion of police incidents are not crime related. Of those which were, some investigations can be progressed through out of court disposals such as Community Resolution, Individuals being reported, or by voluntary interview.
As well as responding to the 78 logs, officers also worked on file building for court, taking witness and victim statements, foot, and vehicle patrols, booking in evidence, surveillance, executing warrants, attending court, attending training courses and inputting intelligence onto the system.
As always, we encourage people to make reports to us and not just on social media as this can't always be monitored.
