Current Priorities
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.
Issue
Operation Downsway
Action
Our yearly campaign to address community concerns around road and driving related offences that fall into the fatal 5 driving offences.
Including targeted patrols, education and enforcement activities across the district throughout the Summer months, focused on targeting excess speed, distracted driving, as well as drink/drug driving.
Continued work with partners, local authorities, including volunteer Community Speed Watch Groups to support activities and keep the roads of your town safe for all road users.
Issue
Burglary
Action
Helping to keep your property safe, from houses, to outbuildings, vehicles, garages and privately owned properties.
Acting swiftly when spates of burglaries are highlighted by communities, in responding to reports of burglary, conducting investigations, offering support and crime prevention tools to victims affected, and identifying those involved.
