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.
