Antisocial Driving and Speeding

PCSO Berriman continues to engage 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 continues to 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.

Youth related antisocial behaviour (ASB)

PCSO Berriman will increase foot patrols in areas where reports of ASB have been made and he continues to work closely with partners 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 Neighbourhood Youth Officers.

Our Neighbourhood Youth Officers (NYOs) work closely with individuals involved, along with other support and partner agencies, to divert young people away from this pattern of behaviour.
