Current priorities
Violence Related Priority - Theft and alcohol related violence is our top priority - this includes violence against women and girls, robberies, assaults on shop workers and violent anti-social behaviour.
We will continue to conduct patrols in the areas where our community has told us there are issues. We will take robust action against offenders who commit crimes against our community. We will continue to record our activities on our proactive management plan.
Set: 2026-05-21
Drug Related Anti-social Behaviour - We are aware that there are many reports of drug use and dealing, with the associated anti-social behaviour which comes with it.
We will target our known offenders to prevent further instances from happening. We will conduct regular patrols in our known hotspots. We will work with partners to reduce re-offending and use diversionary tactics as appropriate.
Set: 2026-05-21
Theft Offences - Theft across the high street against businesses and people in the ward remains a priority for us.
We will conduct intelligence lead activities within our area to counter this crime. We will provide routine patrols where possible during the hours in which this crime type occurs. We will provide crime prevention advice to our communities.
