Night Time Economy Policing
Action
The beat team have been actively patrolling the town centre during the evening on Friday and Saturdays, and actively engaging with door staff and licensees. Pub walk throughs have been conducted, and feedback from the public has been positive. This activity will continue as part of our commitment to Night Time Economy Policing.
Issue
Street level crime and ASB
Action
We are continuing our efforts with additional patrols in the town centre, and proactive use of the PSPO to disperse problem individuals. We are working closely with NSDC to use all available powers, including seeking injunctions in relation to persistent offenders. Throughout the summer we are committing officers to supporting events in the town centre to provide visibility and reassure the public.
