Current priorities
Chapel Allerton Ward Area Residential and commercial Burglary alongside inquisitive crime such as theft from motor vehicles To target and address multiple road safety concerns including driving under the influence, speeding and parking offences across the ward area To act on community intelligence to tackle and disrupt the illegal supply of drugs and the linked anti-social behaviour which affects those living in the community
Our teams are actively working to reduce burglary offences by conducting intelligence led patrols at key times to disrupt and deter offenders. Alongside this, we are strengthening intelligence development through engagement with local businesses and providing tailored crime prevention advice relevant to their premises. Traffic operations are ongoing in Chapel Allerton to reduce and deter dangerous driving. Locations are chosen based on identified hotspot areas and concerns raised by local residents. High-visibility patrols will continue throughout the area, supported by a range of enforcement measures to disrupt drug supply, including the execution of warrants where intelligence supports this action. We encourage residents to help by reporting any suspicious activity or concerns to the police, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 oror www.crimestoppers-uk.org .

Roundhay Ward Area Tackling antisocial behaviour in the Oakwood area We focus on areas of ASB and vehicle nuisance on West Avenue and Roundhay park and to provide a visible deterrent to crime and antisocial behaviour. Residential burglary
With warmer weather and increased visitor numbers—factors historically linked to higher levels of anti-social behaviour in the Roundhay area—early partnership planning has been put in place to help reduce this risk. The team has been tasked with coordinating several days of action within the ward, with the first event scheduled for Saturday 8th June. Increased targeted patrols are being undertaken at key times to support the reduction of residential burglary, deter offending, and provide public reassurance. In Roundhay, this activity has contributed to a positive downward trend in burglary offences.

Alwoodley Ward Area Residential Burglary - The residential parts of the ward immediately north of the Ring Road both to the East and West of its junction with Harrogate Road are particular hotspots and it is believed that the main threat is from offenders travelling in from other parts of Leeds and Bradford.

In addition, we have been sharing helpful crime prevention advice across our social media channels to support residents in securing their homes.
