Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), particularly at times of seasonal demand and local events

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.
We are also engaging with local communities and stakeholders to listen to their concerns surrounding anti-social road related issues, and we continue to support and promote force-wide campaigns, targeted operations with specialist units, and road related activity including Operation Downsway deployments.

Thefts from motor vehicles in rural areas and car parks

Active patrols of the local beauty spots and rural carparks, 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.

Drug Related Harm, particularly along borders of the district

We continue to engage with the community, patrol, develop and act on intelligence and work in collaboration with drug service providers and outreach programmes to support local people.
Working in partnership with key stakeholders enables us to deter the harm being caused within our community, and patrols continue in areas where drug related activity is reported.
Neighbourhood Youth Officers continue to work with local schools and colleges to raise awareness of drug harm and the risks involved.
Proactive operations involving specialist teams take place regularly to identify, arrest and disrupt persons involved in drugs possession and supply.
