Current priorities
We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with priorities that we will have for Watton for the next three months: Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across Watton
Lots of patrols around Watton high street enforcing the PSPO – dealing with street drinkers and starting the anti-social behaviour staged intervention process. Across Watton and the surrounding villages we’ve seen a spike in rural crime so we have increased visible patrols on the major roads. This has also seen an increase in the number of traffic offences spotted – with multiple cars seized for having no insurance. We are working with local rural businesses to make sure that they know how to report suspicious incidents and what kind of thing to be on the look out for.

We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Watton for the next three months: Tackling youth and vehicle related anti-social behaviour Tackling rural and acquisitive crime
We've been focussing on tackling anti-social behaviour in Watton with regular patrols of the town centre. This includes working on the PSPO and stopping street drinkers. We carry out regular patrols across the area and have got out to the villages as often as possible too.
