Current priorities

Antisocial Driving

We are engaging 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.

Antisocial Behaviour

Patrols will continue in areas where reports of ASB have been received.

Set: 2026-05-12

Drug issues around Ivy Arch Tunnel and Bridge Road underpass.

PCSOs have been in discussion with local councillors about this issue and patrols will increase over the summer holidays and beyond. Please continue to report issues.
