Action

We Did: 

  • Increased tasking in key areas by both PC’s and PCSO’s through specific targeted patrols based on demand and public use.
     
  • Use of joint patrols using neighbourhood wardens, street cleansing, travel hubs, ASB officers and licensing setting the tone for the city as a safer place.
     
  • Partnership working with Homeless Outreach Partnership and safer spaces to assist homeless people to arrange housing and rehabilitation.
     
  • Take positive action where we can address problems live time and where possible provide conditions to safeguard the public coming to use the city centre. This includes use of the knife pole (Operation Saintburg – 13250193088) and other proactive operations relating to drugs supply and e-bike use.  
     
  • Ensure a larger contingency of officers are available for all this work in and around the city centre with the summer surge uplift.
