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.
