Antisocial Driving and Speeding

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 also liaise with local Community Speedwatch groups, deploy officers for speed checks, as well as encourage residents to utilise the Operation Crackdown service for reporting.

Retail Crime

The Neighbourhood Policing Team will target persistent offenders and engage with partners and local businesses to offer support, conduct preventative work where appropriate and patrol areas of concern.

Our PCSO's visit local retailers offering advice on how to report retail crime which includes shoplifting and abuse towards staff and customers.

Additionally, we support 'Shop Kind' campaigns throughout the year, raising public awareness on retail crime.

We also provide ongoing support to retailers on signing up to the retail crime reporting system 'DISC'.

Drug Harm

We continue to engage with the community, 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.
