Current Priorities

Issue

Youth involved in disruptive activities.

Action

Increased visibility of the local beat officer based on intelligence and community input. Collaborative work with the Child Centred Policing Team to identify young people and provide early intervention. Continued engagement with communities to offer and guide youths toward appropriate support services and activities designed for them.

Issue

Nuisance vehicles.

Action

A Section 34 Dispersal Order is regularly implemented and publicised through local media to deter nuisance vehicles. This order gives police additional powers to direct individuals to leave a specified area if their behaviour is likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. It serves as both a preventative measure and an enforcement tool to address ongoing issues with nuisance vehicles.

Issue

Drug use and/or drug dealing.

Action

Proactive targeting of drug use by the Neighbourhood Task Force, with increased visibility of the local beat officer in key locations identified through intelligence.
