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.

Reports of Serious Violence

We continue to engage with the community, act on intelligence and work in collaboration with Violence Reduction Partnerships and key stakeholders to reduce the risk of serious violence in this area.
We work to identify individuals who are at risk of causing and of being subject to knife enabled harm, taking a joint professional approach to enforcement and safeguarding. Our Op Safety Hotspot team conduct additional patrols in Hotspot areas where serious and violent crime has occurred.

Ongoing work with local schools and colleges to educate students on the risks associated with carrying a weapon continue.
