Current priorities

Retail crime and dealing with anti-social behaviour. Speeding and inconsiderate motorists is also a priority. We are also committed to gathering intelligence related to organised crime to help us tackle issues such as drug supply and violent crimes.

Our priorities on the town centre are to deliver a successful Clear Hold Build themed around people, place, and premises. This includes reducing retail crime, ASB and keeping people safe through planned operations.

All priorities detailed above have governance arrangements to ensure that we reduce crime and ASB. Working with partners, our aim is to deliver a successful Clear Hold Build themed around people, place, and premises. This includes reducing retail crime, ASB and keeping people safe through planned operations.

So far our successes include: - Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) on prolific offenders - a Clear Hold Build strategy around the themes of people/place/premises (#Operation Tetbury) - Joint enforcement Operations with partners
