Current priorities

The identification, disruption and removal of County Lines and local drug dealing.

An increase in visible policing within the area and hotspot areas, including dedicated and targeted patrols both on foot and in police vehicles. Addresses identified as being cuckooed or at risk of being exploited have been regularly visited by police to ensure the welfare of the occupant. This information has been shared with either the council or housing provider to assist with safeguarding measures.

Set: 2026-06-01

Tackling ASB and vehicle ASB at Ipswich Marina and Old Felixstowe.

Officers continue to focus patrols both on foot and in police vehicles, in the area of Ipswich Marina to tackle both general and vehicle ASB.

Set: 2026-06-01

Targeting persistent and prolific shoplifters and retail crime across the area.

Tackling retail crime across the area and proactively dealing with persistent offenders by arresting, prosecuting and the use of disruptive orders such as CPN and CBO, where appropriate. Work is being undertaken with frequently targeted shops around crime prevention methods.
