Current priorities
Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB).
Officers are working closely with local business owners and Community Safety Partnership teams to ensure open spaces are a safe environment. Our teams provide a number of initiatives including intervention work to ensure those committing ASB are diverted to positive activities.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour, is a priority for our local officers.
Local officers are tackling anti-social behaviour by adopting a problem-solving approach to identified vulnerable locations by providing high visibility patrols. Working in collaboration with a range of statutory, non-statutory and 3rd sector partners, to get to the root of problems and solve them for the long-term. Officers will focus on interpretation of public in terms of anti social behaviour and 'gangs'.
