Current priorities

Under 25 serious youth violence

Under 25 violence has again been raised as a priority at our recent BCRP meeting which last took place on Friday 12th December Under 25 violence is both a local and force priority. The team will continue visible patrols in hotspot areas where serious youth violence is likely to occur. During patrols positive action will be taken by officers including enforcement (Arrest), stop and search, making referrals and other methods that will prevent and deter youths from committing acts of serious violence.

Set: 2026-07-01

ASB (street drinking / aggressive begging.)

The team continue to focus on this priority which was again raised at our recent BCRP meeting which last took place on Friday 12th December however it has been noted that over the last few weeks we have seen a significant decrease in calls from members of the public. The locations identified within the area include: 1 - High Street / Duchess Parade 2 -Oak Road. 3 - St Micheal Street. 4- Lodge Road Tram Stop. In response to the issues raised, despite fewer calls, the team will continue to conduct patrols at the above locations at the relevant / identified times with partners including BID officers and EPO's. As always I will encourage local members of our community to report any issues or concerns via 101, web chat or 999 in an emergency.
