Current Priorities
Issue
Public Place Violent Crime
Action
Reducing public place violent crime including VAWG and youth related crime and disorder keeping all communities safe from violence.
Continuing our work alongside partners and support agencies for victims of violent crime, including domestic abuse and VAWG, and to continue raising awareness of support channels advice, and reporting services available to all victims.
In swiftly responding to incidents of public based violence, and using policing powers available, from powers of dispersal, to criminal behaviour orders to crackdown on offending.
Issue
Business Crime
Action
Supporting local businesses in targeting repeat offenders, and working to reduce business crime through collaborative work, through both increased patrols, and police and partner led operations to tackle business crime, and bring those responsible to justice.
Issue
Anti-social behaviour (ASB)
Action
Swiftly responding to incidents of ASB and effectively using policing powers available to intervene - including powers of dispersal where the actions of individuals or groups impact their wider surroundings; which can lead to wider harm, including the misuse of public spaces or buildings, criminal damage or vandalism, for example graffiti or damage to public buildings.
Working with partners and youth organisations, including schools and colleges to identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB.
Addressing and taking action against ASB in the form of nuisance noise, such as noisy cars or motorbikes.
