Current priorities
Local communities have told us they want increased police visibility - more bobbies on the beat – to help tackle violent and sexual offences, especially in busy public areas. In response, we will be conducting targeted foot patrols over the next three months, focusing on, though not limited to, Rice Lane and Walton Vale.
We have carried out targeted high visibility patrols in the area.
