Current Priorities
Issue
Eastmoor, College Grove, Pinders Heath, Portobello Ward Areas
College Grove remains to be the focal point for visible anti-social behaviour across the ward area.
Work is ongoing in recognised hotspot areas through a genuine partnership approach including statutory and non-statutory partners.
This will continue with a revised focus on introducing new diversionary tactics to address offenders’ criminal behaviours. Metrics of success will be measured through police and partnership demand data as well as through community surveys and information gathering alongside elected members and key individuals.
Issue
Wakefield City Centre Ward Area
To reduce City Centre Crime and anti-social behaviour through a strategic mix of covert and overt proactive policing activity.
Working closely with partners, exploring all investigatory opportunities and maximising both offender control and victim safeguarding through the robust use of criminal and civil legislation.
Partnership campaigns delivering shared agenda messaging, reducing demand to all agencies, and making the City Centre community safer and feel safer.
Issue
Thornes, Lupset and Cathedral Retail Park Ward Areas
Albeit seasonal, Thornes Park remains a recognised hotspot for crime and disorder. Being the largest public greenspace in the district the park draws people from far and wide, not just the local community and attractions such as a skate park, adventure playground and athletics track add to its attraction.
With the high footfall comes opportunist crime as well as repeat anti-social behaviour. Orthodox and non-orthodox policing tactics will be used to reduce criminality, impact on offender opportunity, and divert young people away from anti-social behaviour.
