The team will patrol areas of concern for violence and robbery based offences, using trends and information to best target patrols. We will take on board any live information and intelligence and act on that appropriately to be most effective in patrols and aim to reduce these offences. We will actively work with other departments and partners to target offenders and bring them to justice.
