Antisocial Behaviour

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.

We 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.

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.

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.
