Current priorities
Antisocial Behaviour
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out 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.
Set: 2026-05-12
Retail Crime
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will 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.
