Current priorities
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) - Officers will be going into schools and giving talks to women/girls in order to give them information on how they can keep themselves safe when out and about.
Officers will liaise with Women's Groups in the area in order to identify 'hot spot' areas so more targeted patrols can be carried out. Initiatives such as public campaigns including Walk and Talk, as well as Street Safe will be carried out by officers on the ward, where they will be meeting with females to address any issues or concerns they may have..
