Current Priorities
Issue
Concerns have been raised around drug use in the local community and the impact that has on those who live there.
Action
Operation Laguz focuses on tackling county lines drug dealing. Through the use of warrants, plain clothes officers and stop search tactics, larger scale county lines drug dealing has been identified involving the exploitation of young people.
We are also engaging with partners to safeguard young persons identified as at risk.
