Current Priorities

Issue

ASB

Action

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carryout regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.
We work closely with partner agencies to tackle this type of behaviour, identify those responsible, and manage persistent offenders and locations. We also continue to carry out intervention work with local schools and youth groups through our dedicated youth officers, to divert any young people who may be involved away from this pattern of behaviour.

Issue

Antisocial driving - speeding, especially during local events.

Action

We are engaging with local communities and stakeholders to listen to their concerns surrounding anti-social road related issues.
We continue to support and promote force-wide campaigns, targeted operations with specialist units, and road-related activity including Operation Downsway deployments.
We will also liaise with local community speed watch groups, assist in conducting speed checks, as well as encourage residents to utilise the Operation Crackdown service for reporting any road related concerns.

Issue

Thefts from motor vehicles in rural areas.

Action

Active patrols of the local beauty spots and rural car parks, where reports have been made, will act as a deterrent and a reassuring presence for visitors to these areas, and we continue to work with our colleagues in the Rural Crime Team.
Engagement opportunities for residents will be advertised where possible, and we will continue to share crime prevention advice and safeguarding information both in person and online.

Issue

Shoplifting on Portland Road

Action

High visibility patrols at peak times.
Engagement work with businesses, encouraging reporting and crime prevention advice.
Engagement with local community.
