Current Priorities

Issue

Antisocial behaviour.

Action

Marked high-visibility patrols are being carried out in the ward by local beat officers, supported by the Neighbourhood Task Force’s Problem-Solving Police Community Support Officer. Appropriate Proactive Management Plans will be created to document the activity, including the powers, policies, and legislation used to support it.

Beat officers will maintain close contact with the local community to gather information and intelligence, and to highlight positive outcomes through the My Community Voice platform.

Issue

Theft shoplifting.

Action

Beat officers and Problem-Solving Police Community Support Officers will use the shoplifting toolkit to deal with suspects, support local retailers, and reassure the public that robust action is being taken to address this offence. This approach will be delivered in partnership with relevant agencies and stakeholders.

Issue

E-scooters and/or nuisance bikes.

Action

Beat officers will work in partnership with the Neighbourhood Task Force and problem-solving police community support officers to address this issue, using operational toolkits tailored to the specific circumstances. These operations have previously been effective and have received positive feedback from the community. Outcomes will be shared through My Community Voice.
