Current priorities
Antisocial Driving in Widewater Car Park
We continue to engage 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.
