Current Priorities

Issue

1 Anti-Social Behaviour
2 Drug dealing
3 Nuisance off road bikes - Escooters
4 Vulrnabilty - Cuckooing

Action

1. Anti-Social Behaviour
The team will carry out high-visibility patrols on the Keld Holmes Lane estate.
We will engage with young people and arrange mobile youth provision, supporting communities alongside our Youth Engagement Officers.
Educational inputs will be delivered in schools, and young people will be signposted to diversionary activities.
We will raise awareness of how such behaviour impacts the community, speak with parents, and make them aware of their child’s behaviour.
2. Drug Dealing
The team will conduct high-visibility and plain-clothes patrols in the area.
We will stop and search those suspected of drug dealing, gather and develop intelligence, and act on information provided by the local community.
Drug warrants will be executed to achieve positive outcomes.
3. Nuisance Off-Road Bikes / E-Scooters
Reports of nuisance off-road bikes in the area have increased.
High-visibility patrols are taking place in hotspot locations such as Field Lane Park and the canal path.
The Off-Road Bike Team has been utilised on several occasions to assist in combating this issue.
We will tackle this issue by working with the community and partner agencies to identify offenders.
Positive action will be taken under Section 59 powers (Police Reform Act) and powers under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act for riding without insurance.
4. Vulnerability – Cuckooing
We continue to work closely with the local authority and our partners from local housing associations.
This collaboration allows us to share information and identify those at risk of having their properties taken over by drug dealers.
Together, we ensure our most vulnerable victims are visited regularly—sometimes daily—offering reassurance and support.
We have also taken robust action against offenders, making arrests at the first opportunity and enforcing strict bail conditions, providing an extra layer of support to victims in these circumstances.
