Current Priorities

Issue

Antisocial behaviour - General.

Action

Beat officers are conducting regular patrols to address general antisocial behaviour (ASB) in the community. Where appropriate, ASB legislation is being used to take enforcement action and support longer-term problem solving.

Issue

Dog fouling.

Action

We are working with the local council to support enforcement action around dog fouling, helping to address community concerns and improve cleanliness in public areas.

Issue

E-scooters and/or nuisance motorcycles.

Action

We are delivering educational sessions in schools and sharing public messages to raise awareness about the legal use of e-bikes and e-scooters. Illegal e-scooters and e-bikes, particularly those used in an antisocial manner, are being seized. Enforcement powers under antisocial behaviour legislation are being used to target individuals enabling these offences. In addition, operations are being carried out to identify and deal with offenders, supported by intelligence gathering and joint patrols with partner agencies.
