We are working with our Off Road Bike team to tackle nuisance motorcycles being used anti-socially both on and off road and will deal with offences robustly. We welcome any reports and information relating to these incidents.
    
5. We have run several successful pro-active operations utilising drugs dogs to identify potential drug possession and supply, resulting in drug seizures. Our PubWatch meetings with Kirklees Licensing and local licensees allow us to work together and share information and challenge premises who are not working to prevent drug use and anti-social behaviour. Rural NPT continue to offer a visible presence in the night time economy each weekend.
