Current Priorities
Issue
Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Our most recent NPT Priority Survey results continue to indicate that ASB is within the top three priority for the communities. We know that ASB adversely affects people who live within our communities. The team will work in collaboration with our partners to explore possible solutions, in tackling ASB within our communities.With the help of our communities, we will identify vulnerable people who may be susceptible to becoming a victim of ASB and this will help to us to inform, reassure and signpost them for the appropriate support. We will also target ASB hot spots and offenders, utilising ASB legislation and tools at our disposal.
Issue
Tackling Drug Dealing in the community We will proactively target organised drug supply by developing and acting on community intelligence.Our enforcement will be focused on the incidents that impact the most vulnerable.
We will carry out regular safe and well checks on vulnerable members of the community, in conjunction with partner agencies and our colleagues in other Police teams. As part of this we will signpost vulnerable victims to our partner agencies and services that can offer help, support and advice.
Issue
Anti-Social Driving
We will work together with our colleagues in the No Excuse Team to actively target individuals who drive in an anti-social manner. This includes operation Dragoon which specifically targets anti-social driving.
