Anti-social behaviour
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to conduct high-visibility patrols across the area to deter anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to local residents. We are proactively identifying offenders and working closely with housing providers, anti-social behaviour enforcement officers, and tenancy management teams to address concerns and reduce repeat offending.
We are also relaunching our Police and Communities Together (PACT) meetings, providing regular opportunities for residents and local councillors to engage with the policing team. These meetings help ensure that we are listening to community concerns, gathering valuable local intelligence, and working collaboratively to support ongoing problem-solving and neighbourhood policing priorities.
Shoplifting
Our officers are proactively targeting known offenders and nominals. As a result, two individuals have recently been charged with a total of 32 offences and have both been remanded into custody.
We continue to support repeat victims by providing crime prevention advice and reassurance. In addition, civil orders are being utilised to help manage and disrupt the activities of prolific offenders
