Current priorities
Drug Related Crime
Work continues in the area to tackle drug-related crime through dedicated patrols, focused police operations, and community intelligence. Local officers are actively targeting known hotspots and working closely with partner agencies to disrupt criminal activity. This joint approach enables us to take meaningful action, supporting those affected, reducing harm, and improving safety across the community.
Set: 2026-06-01
Anti-social Behaviour
Work continues in the area to tackle antisocial behaviour, with proactive patrols and close engagement within the community to identify and address those responsible. Local officers remain in contact with parents and guardians to help manage concerns and prevent further issues. We are also working alongside partner agencies to develop long-term solutions, ensuring a coordinated approach to reducing ASB and improving community safety.
