Current Priorities

Issue

Action

1. High visibility patrols at peak times to engage with the young people involved in anti-social behaviour.

Signpost the young people to positive diversionary activities within the local area. Issue anti-social behaviour letters to young people found engaging in anti-social behaviour, and consideration to be given for other suitable disposals, such as Immediate Justice, Acceptable Behavioural Contracts. Work alongside our partners at Amber Valley Community Safety Partnership, utilising our Public Space Protection Order powers.
2. High visibility patrols in the area, build intelligence to identify those involved. Work alongside our off-road bike team and utilise our drone capabilities. Positive action to be taken against riders by issuing section 59 warnings or seizing the motorbikes under section 165 road traffic act.
3. High visibility patrols within the area to disrupt drug related activity and build intelligence. Complete stop/searches where grounds are met and execute warrants where appropriate.
