St Ann's — Neighbourhood Policing Team

City South Priorities - April - June Through analysis of crime, consultation with partners in our Multi agency Problem Solving meeting, the PCC crime survey and feedback from our community. we have identified the following policing priorities for the next three months. These priorities do not replace those local priorities raised at community meetings. The priorities are reviewed monthly and reviewed quarterly. The City South areas have such different demographics each area has its own issues and problems therefore in order to capture all the elements raised the priorities are deliberately non-specific to ensure they remain relevant to all. Retail Crime Acquisitive Crime​ Acquisitive Crime to include burglary, robbery, Vehicle crime and retail crime is on the increase and therefore need to make it a priority for the next three months Carry on identifying serial offenders, whilst focusing on repeat offenders and hot spot areas as early as possible to ensure we maximise opportunities of prosecutions, which ultimately leads to victims getting positive resolutions. Antisocial Behaviour Having consulted with counsellors and key individuals in your communities, I have identified that a number of significant issues are taking place in your areas, that comes under the heading of antisocial Behaviour. You have told us that antisocial driving and speeding is a concern, specifically car cruising is effecting you feeling safe in your community Given the broad nature of this heading it gives me and my team the opportunity to focus our efforts on particular areas in each of your communities and is why ASB will be a priority for the wards of City South for the next three months. Drugs & Drug Dealing Drugs continue to be a priority as it is intrinsically linked with many other crimes and taking a strong approach to drugs impacts on other areas. The City South will carry on targeting drug offenders in the bid to hopefully send out a message that this kind of activity will not be tolerated. Our neighbourhood teams have been consistent in our approach of taking positive action relating to intelligence received and acting on information that comes from within our communities. We have continued to execute numerous drug warrants across the area and have recovered significant quantities of drugs from circulation in our communities. Arrests have been made investigations are ongoing to ensure the appropriate action is taking by working with our partners in The City council by looking at appropriate closure orders and other punitive sanctions We have targeted vehicles used by those involved in the distribution of drugs to make it difficult to engage in this activity on the City South area. Our three priorities are there to ensure you feel and are safe why being in our area, we will continue to fight crime and listen to you and understand what is needed with you to make sure that you feel safe and improve your confidence in our ability to deal with your concerns, providing an excellent service, which we deliver with pride compassion and integrity.

City South Neighbourhood Policing Community Update – June 2026 Policing is, at its heart, about public service. It is about people — listening to concerns, understanding what matters most to our communities, and working tirelessly to deliver safer neighbourhoods. I am incredibly proud to lead teams across City South who are committed not only to reducing crime, but to building trust and confidence in policing. We recognise that trust is earned through our actions: by listening, by being visible, and by delivering meaningful outcomes for victims. Listening to the public is central to everything we do. Your concerns, your experiences, and your expectations shape our priorities. By working together, we are creating safer neighbourhoods and stronger relationships built on trust, openness, and action. Delivering on What Matters to You Our priorities for April to June 2026 reflect the issues that communities have told us matter most: •Acquisitive Crime – We are intensifying our focus on burglary, robbery, vehicle crime and retail crime, identifying repeat and serial offenders and targeting hotspots to achieve the best possible outcomes for victims. ] •Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) – We are actively addressing concerns around speeding, dangerous driving, and behaviour that impacts community safety and wellbeing. •Drugs – Through proactive patrols and enforcement activity, we are continuing to disrupt drug-related activity and reduce harm across our communities. This is about focusing on the issues that affect people most — and taking decisive action. A Positive Approach to Neighbourhood Policing Our work is guided by three core strengths: Putting Communities First: Engagement We are increasing our presence and strengthening our connection with all communities, ensuring everyone feels heard, respected, and supported. This includes reaching those who may not always feel confident in approaching police. Solving Problems, Not Just Responding By focusing on long-term solutions, by working with our partners, we are preventing repeat crime and reducing demand — ultimately delivering better outcomes for victims and a more effective service Targeting What Matters Most We are directing our efforts where they will make the greatest difference — focusing on harm, vulnerability, and the issues communities tell us are most important. Performance Highlights: Progress and Focus While demand in some areas has increased, this gives us clearer insight and opportunity to respond with precision: •We are seeing positive stability and reductions in areas such as Sneinton & Dales. •In areas where crime has risen, strong plans are already in place to address this through targeted enforcement and prevention. This data ensures we stay focused, proactive, and responsive. Improving Outcomes for Victims Our commitment to victims is clear: we want to deliver better results, better communication, and better support. •We are intensifying efforts to tackle burglary and robbery, ensuring offenders are identified and brought to justice. •Encouragingly, vehicle crime has reduced overall, demonstrating the impact of proactive policing. •Targeted work continues on retail crime, working closely with businesses to reduce offending and protect staff. Taking Action on Anti-Social Behaviour We understand the impact ASB has on daily life, and we are taking a proactive and partnership-led approach to tackle it. By listening to residents and acting on concerns, we are improving safety and helping communities feel secure and supported. Protecting Communities and Reducing Harm Our teams are focused on: •Identifying and managing those causing the most harm •Supporting vulnerable victims and preventing repeat harm •Working closely with partners to deliver lasting solutions This targeted and preventative approach ensures we are making a real, lasting difference. Working Together: Your Voice Matters We are continuing to expand opportunities for engagement, including: •Community surgeries and local events •Drop-in sessions for diverse communities, including asylum seekers and refugees These conversations help shape our work and strengthen the relationship between police and the public.
