Current priorities

Lancaster: Business crime, Youth Anti- social Behaviour, Drug misuse and supply

As part of Operation Vulture and the Safe/Secure Lancaster Partnership we work with businesses to reduce repeat, persistent shoplifters. Operation Maddison is focused on ensuring a positive response to youth antisocial behaviour. The operation identifies those involved and makes positive interventions through families and schools. As part of Operations Warrior we target and disrupt criminals involved in organised drug supply.

Set: 2026-04-01

Morecambe: Anti-social Behaviour, Drug supply and misuse

We work with local businesses and the council’s Community Safety Partnership to focus on antisocial behaviour, why it takes place, with the aim of reducing repeat incidents. As part of Operation Warrior we target and disrupt criminals involved in organised drug supply.

Set: 2025-12-20
