Shoplifting

In the most recent NPT Priority Survey results continue to indicate that Shoplifting is within the top three priorities for the communities. We will continue to work with businesses to try and reduce thefts and look to target prolific offenders and utilising civil orders to help problem solve.

Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)

NPT Priority Survey results continue to indicate that ASB is within the top three priorities for the communities. We know that ASB can have a detrimental impact on the quality of life for those who live within our communities. We will work with our partner agencies to help problem solve.
 
This approached involves:
 

• Identification of a specific problem


• Thorough analysis to understand the problem


• Development of a tailored response


• Assessment of the effects of the response


• The approach assumes that identifying and understanding the root causes of a problem – or conditions that allow it to continue – leads to an effective solution.

Drug Dealing and County Lines

In our latest NPT Priority Survey results Drug Dealing was the top priority for the communities. We know that drug dealing/misuse adversely affects people who live within our communities. Tackling county lines, and the supply gangs responsible for high levels of violence, exploitation and abuse of vulnerable adults and children  remain a priority for us. We understand that there are links between drugs, crime, and anti-social behaviour (ASB). We work with partner agencies to bring collaborative approaches to problem solving.  The team contribute to the wider force approach to drugs dealing under Operation Viper. We will highlight areas of concern and look for wider force support where needed. We will utilise our powers under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to close premises which meet the given thresholds to bring respite to the community. This work also extends to collaboration with the BCP ASB Team to utilise civil orders to help problem solve.
