MOD POLICE UPDATE 
• Storms over previous weeks has caused disruption in the area around HMNB
Clyde and surrounding roads. MOD Police/Police Scotland have continued to
make efforts to control traffic when appropriate for the safety of road users.
We can only apologise for any delays on passing/entering HMNB Clyde.
• Drones - I have to reiterate the increasing number of drone pilots around the
area of HMNB Clyde/Coulport. It is a security concern and can lead to
prosecution if drones are flown in 'NO DRONE ZONES'.  
Details to report - time, location, description, direction of travel and details of
any operator. You can contact HMB Clyde if you spot a drone around HMNB
Clyde/Coulport on 01436 655 765
• Internet Safety Awareness - MOD Police Community Officer/ Police Scotland
Youth Engagement Officer are working together to engage with local primary
schools to deliver a variety of topics they think the Police should be
highlighting to pupils. Primarily, Internet Safety for the P5-7's and Road Safety
for P1-4. It has been very effective so far.
• Fly tipping has also been on the rise in recent times especially on MOD Land.
Increased patrols will continue in the area as well as engagement between
Police and A+B Council to reduce this.
• Police Scotland Youth Volunteers - Any requests from local groups or events
that are taking place that you think will benefit our volunteers (ages 14-16)
then please get in touch. haining.gallagher@scotland.police.uk or
