Current priorities

Illegal e-bike use

We’ve received reports of illegal and dangerous use of e-motorbikes in the areas around The Gallops and Findon. This behaviour poses a risk to both the riders and the public. In response, the Neighbourhood Policing Team continue to carry out targeted patrols and working with partner agencies, including local authorities and enforcement teams, to identify offenders and take appropriate action. We are also engaging with local residents to gather further intelligence. Tackling this issue remains a priority to ensure the safety and peace of our open spaces and communities.

Antisocial Behaviour and Drug Harm

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB and drug activities 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.

Antisocial driving and speeding

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out speed checks in areas where antisocial driving and speeding have been reported. We continue to support and promote force-wide campaigns, targeted operations with specialist units, and road related activity including Operation Downsway deployments.
