3 1 GENERAL INFORMATION Operation Harrow is a forcewide ongoing operation to detect, investigate and deter metal theft in the force area. Metal theft is an increasing problem which impacts upon the country and the force area in many ways, critically interrupting power supplies and causing the failure of communications. There is significant difficulty in establishing ownership of recovered metal, and scrap metal dealers are the primary disposal market for stolen metal. All scrap metal dealers in the force area will be visited on a regular basis and inspected and any offences found will be investigated. Metal identification experts will be available around the force area on agreed days of action to assist with investigations. All scrap metal dealers visited will be required to sign up to a new Service Level Agreement (SLA see Appendix D) which will clarify their responsibilities. 2 COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT The community impact will be considered individually by each district. 3 LEGAL OBJECTIVES The Avon and Somerset Constabulary will protect life, prevent disorder and crime, and protect the rights and freedoms of individuals, in accordance with, for example but not exclusively, Articles 2 (right to life), 3 (prohibition of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment), 5 (right to liberty and security), 6 (right to a fair trial), 8 (right to respect for private and family life), 11 (freedom of peaceful assembly and association) and 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act POLICE OBJECTIVES (Gold Strategy) xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3
