Report this online via this Domestic Abuse Form on the Beds Police Web Site. This confidential form is to report an incident/s of domestic, child, sexual, rape or honour-based abuse, as well as abuse against a vulnerable adult that has occurred within the Bedfordshire Police area.
ALCOHOL
Sons and daughters need to know you are concerned, care for them, and that you will check up on them. Even if you trust them, ask them how they are spending their money, their time, and with whom, and don't be put off if your questions annoy them. Teenagers will push the envelope. They take risks.

A company called Welbeing, based in Eastbourne, operates a filtering service on behalf of Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) Public Protection for emergency calls received outside normal office hours. The CBC out-of-hours number is 0300 300 8098 and this is made available to Central Bedfordshire residents. A number of Public Protection officers participate in pairs in a rota to provide a response to filtered calls on Friday and Saturday nights only, from 20.00hrs until 01.00hrs.
RAVES The protocol CBC has with Bedfordshire Police requires that they will attend and deal with raves in progress as they have powers to clear the site if a gathering is illegal. Public Protection officers only have powers to deal with any noise e.g. by service of notice or seizure of equipment. Where CBC becomes aware of a rave before it happens they will endeavour to identify the organisers and if they believe there is the potential for nuisance they will serve notice and monitor the event. They would not normally go on site without the police and any action must be sanctioned by them as in some instances they prefer to allow the event to progress if the possibility exists that dispersal may result in more harm to the neighbouring community.
