Current priorities
Drug related harm
We continue to take firm action against drug-related crime through regular patrols, intelligence-led operations, and targeted enforcement, disrupting supply chains and holding offenders accountable. Alongside enforcement, we work closely with partner agencies to reduce harm, support vulnerable individuals, and raise awareness of available services. Our focus remains on prevention, safeguarding, and protecting the community from the impact of drug-related activity.
Set: 2026-06-01
Vehicle offences / Anti-social driving
Proactive patrols will continue, with continued work within the community to identify and target individuals responsible for anti-social driving in the area. We remain committed to tackling this issue head-on. Vehicles have been seized and drivers who put others at risk will continue to be dealt with robustly.
Set: 2026-06-01
