Cowfold, Shermanbury, West Grinstead and Henfield — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Antisocial Driving and Speeding

Your local PCSO continues to work with local communities and stakeholders to listen to their concerns surrounding anti-social road related issues. We continue to support and promote force-wide campaigns, targeted operations with specialist units, and road related activity including Operation Downsway deployments. We also liaise with local Community Speedwatch groups, deploy officers for speed checks, as well as encourage residents to utilise the Operation Crackdown service for reporting. We have been monitoring vehicle speed around Partridge Green and are continuing to identify hotspot locations. We have continued to monitor the antisocial illegal parking outside One Stop, Henfield which is being enforced with tickets being processed.

Retail Crime

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to target persistent offenders and engage with partners and local businesses to offer support, conduct preventative work where appropriate and patrol areas of concern. Our PCSO's visit local retailers offering advice on how to report retail crime which includes shoplifting and abuse towards staff and customers. Additionally, we support 'Shop Kind' campaigns throughout the year, raising public awareness on retail crime. We are continuing to liaise with local shops to understand how they are being impacted, offering advice and showing a visible presence.

Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out increased regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made. We work closely with partners to tackle this type of behaviour, identify those responsible, and manage persistent offenders and locations. We also continue to carry out intervention work with local schools and youth groups through our dedicated Neighbourhood Youth Officers. We are regularly monitoring calls and speaking to residents to identify areas of ASB, whilst completing proactive patrols, alongside identifying youths engaged in ASB and working with them, their families and other agencies to improve their behaviour.
