Current Priorities
Issue
Anti-Social Vehicle Use and Speeding
We will increase patrols in identified areas of demand and run speeding operations at these locations, taking positive action against offenders.
We continue to provide high visibility patrols to disrupt ‘car meets’ in the area to reduce speeding and anti-social vehicles use.
Work is ongoing with partners to resolve the issue in the longer term and there is a Public Spaces Protection Order in place on Tuscany Way, Altofts.
Issue
Theft from Shop
We target known shoplifters through proactive patrols and regular Contact points in the area.
Partnership work will continue with Vico Homes (& other Housing Providers) and Wakefield Council to address concerns, target the tenancy of offenders and support the community.
We will also continue to work with the local shop owners and bigger retailers like Co-Op, B&M, Iceland, and Tesco in gathering information.
Issue
Anti-Social Behaviour
Anti-social behaviour including youths abusing members of the public and the illegal use of motor bikes in the local parks and various areas of Wakefield West.
We aim to reduce these incidents by providing high visibility patrols in the area, working with Wakefield Council and key partners to identify and proactively deal with offenders, and setting up days off action with the off-road bike team.
You can report anti-social behaviour to us by using our online reporting system or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
