Your local neighbourhood team will be in and around the area to target the anti-social behaviour. We will continue to remain visible in the area and work with partners to tackle this. Dealing with anti social behaviour from off road bike activity and speeding and inconsiderate motorists is also a priority in which we will be looking to arrange a number of traffic operations in the coming months

Set: 2026-05-27

Our priorities are: - To reduce and detect burglary offences. - To investigate Retail crime including promoting prevention & reduction - To manage and reduce Youth related ASB - To reduce Off Road Bike Nuisance

Your local officers assist with CCTV enquiries, high visibility and plain clothes patrols, crime prevention surgeries, reassurance visits to vulnerable victims, intelligence gathering and targeting of offenders known to be involved in Burglary offences. When offenders are identified for retail crime offences we will take positive action whenever possible, usually resulting in charges being brought against them. We also look to obtain criminal behaviour orders against the most prolific offenders. Officers complete a number of traffic operations to reduce speeding and inconsiderate motorists and we will aim to carry one out at least once per month. Your local neighbourhood team will be in and around the area to target the anti-social behaviour and try to reduce demand in ASB hot spot locations. We will continue to remain visible in the area and work with partners to tackle this. Dealing with anti social behaviour from off road bike activity is a priority for the Norden Team, we work with other agencies, police forces and community volunteers to carry out enforcement and disruption in this area at key times.
