A number of CBOs (Criminal Behaviour Orders) have been issued to regular offenders of retail thefts including exclusion zones (usually around the shops) the increased presence and positive action taken by local beat officers has had a real impact on the shoplifting issues.. we are not complacant though, patrols continue and we put offenders in front of the courts

All neighbourhood officers and PCSOs are incorporating the associated premises into their patrol plans on each tour of duty. Offering advise to shop and business owners on reviewing and improving security and positive reporting actions has been completed
