Reducing Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in the City Centre

The Neighbourhood and patrol officers remain focussed on reducing ASB in the city centre. OP VOLT was launched in April whereby hot spot areas were identified and officers therefore provided high visibility patrols, increased engagement, identification of individuals involved and partnership working with youth justice and Wrexham Council to deal with these matters.

Partnership working

Neighbourhood officers maintain a strong collaborative relationship with Wrexham Trading Standards and Public Protection, developing intelligence to progress a number of successful seizures and investigations in a number of commercial outlets within the City Centre. These visits have reassured the Community that any information is acted upon, and positive results are reported via social media.

Retail Crime

Wrexham City Neighbourhood Teams are continuing to work towards achieving the highest performance around retail crime. This does not only affect retailers but also the staff that witness and endure the offenders’ behaviours. A number of repeat offenders continue to cause risk and harm to the community and robust action continues to be taken whilst working hard with retailers to minimise the risk to their stores and shop assistants.
