This activity has included incidents that are causing significant concern to local residents, impacting their quality of life and sense of safety.

We are implementing a significant increase in high-visibility patrols across key areas to provide reassurance to the community and deter criminal activity. These patrols will be supported by intelligence-led, proactive policing strategies that focus on identifying emerging threats and targeting individuals or locations linked to crime and anti-social behaviour. In addition, we will strengthen our collaborative approach by working closely with the local council and partner agencies to address underlying issues, share information effectively, and deliver joint initiatives aimed at improving public safety and community confidence.
