Current priorities

Issues of Anti-Social Behaviour in the Town Centre caused by Street Drinkers resulting in shops losing business.

Targeted high visibility and plain clothes patrols in identified hotspot areas, using intelligence led policing and local knowledge to deploy resources effectively. We are actively confiscating alcohol, using dispersal and stop search powers where lawful and proportionate, and taking positive action for ASB and public order offences. This has included issuing Community Resolutions (CRs), summonsing suspects for drug offences, and making arrests for hate related and domestic abuse incidents. We are targeting persistent offenders, we have just successfully been granted a CBO on the highest repeat individual, and we are progressing a Public Space Protection Order. Partnership work continues with CCTV, Community Safety, Licensing and the Homeless Outreach Team to both enforce and support vulnerable individuals. Regular patrols take place at key locations to deter crime and build public confidence. PC Yeadon has led on obtaining a Public Space Protection Order, which has been agreed and is awaiting council finalisation. This will give more powers to police and partners to deal with the issue effectively and promptly.
