Disruption of Drug activity – Ongoing core priority

Drug taking and dealing in the streets around the town centre of Bridlington continue to be our focus. We have received information and targeted areas of concern. Addresses with increased activity will be monitored adding to the intelligence picture. We continue to review this intelligence, obtain warrants, and target areas and individuals of concern using our stop and search powers. We continue to work with residents, Pro-active Patrols and BTP.
Operation Shield has led to numerous drug arrests. Clear, Hold, Build will further impact in this area.

ASB – Town wide – Ongoing core priority

We continue to engage with the community and monitor areas subject to ASB.

We will conduct high visibility patrols and liaise with housing and social care. We are supporting local businesses with regular patrols and work with other agencies and children’s homes to support youths and promote positive relationships. Liaison with schools continues. Local officers are working with housing and social services in relation to visiting youths and parents to minimise ASB.

Some youths have already been identified and we are utilising the fairway system to deal with this. We have signed youths up to Anti-Social Behaviour contracts and parents are aware of the issues they are causing. Any offences will be dealt with positively and we will look towards Youth Justice Service intervention where appropriate.

Operation Yuletide / Shop Theft

On the run up to Christmas we will continue with High Visibility patrols in high demand locations working alongside our Patrol officers to minimise incidents of Theft and ASB. We will be engaging with and supporting our shop keepers. We will be monitoring calls for service and using every opportunity to investigate incidents reported.
