Current priorities
Anti-social behaviour
Your neighbourhood officers are committed to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) through engagement, collaborative working and problem solving. Everybody has the right to feel safe in their community, and we’ll take robust action against those acting disorderly and those who have an adverse impact on the wellbeing of our towns. The team will proactively patrol hotspot areas, providing a visible deterrent with partners. Officers will also utilise the well-established Safer Caerphilly Anti-Social Behaviour 4 Strike Process to address poor behaviour. We have been signing up residnets to our new Neighbourhood Alert System. Updating our communities on what is going on within the area.

Shoplifting
Your local neighbourhood officers are targeting shoplifting and other retail crimes through high-visibility policing patrols and by engaging with local retailers. We’re working with colleagues in We Don’t Buy Crime to advise businesses how best to increase security and minimise the risk of offenders returning to their premises. We’ll be visible in the are continuing to work alongside partners at the council.
