Current Priorities

Issue

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) came out as a close second on our priority surveys. ASB impacts on people’s lives and can be extremely personal. We are committed to supporting the community and tacking this head on. We work regularly with the Local Authority to target, disrupt and deter Anti-Social Behaviour. We effectively use civil orders such as Community Protection Notices, Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions and Closure Orders, to deal with the most prolific people and impose prohibitions on them. We encourage reporting from the community to assist us with the evidence gathering process. In addition we will continue to provide high visibility patrols to deter antisocial activity and encourage reporting from the community to assist us with deploying our resources in the most effective way.

Issue

Drug Dealing

As with last year’s survey the number one priority highlighted was Drug Dealing.
 
We will continue to actively target street dealing, the wider supply chain and repeat offenders. We are acutely aware of the detrimental impact drug activity has on the community and local businesses. By targeting the most prolific offenders we aim to not only reduce overt street dealing but also protect those who become victims of cuckooing, leaving no place within our community where drug dealers can hide. In order to best deploy our resources we rely on community intelligence so that we can target specific locations at hotspot times, working with our partners to increase our disruption activity. It is only by working together that we can reduce this criminality and let the dealers know there is no place in our community for them.
