Tackling drug dealing.

We continue to proactively tackle this issue through drugs warrants, stop searches and closure notices

Reducing the number of Serious and Fatal Road Traffic Collisions in the Forest

We continue to proactively target offenders who repeatedly drive vehicles illegally on our roads and also those who use our road network to commit crime. We are doing this through specific tasking’s to our Specialist Operations Team and locally with our proactive and neighbourhood teams. We are also working with partner agencies to improve road safety.
