Current Priorities

Issue

Motorcycle related crime and anti-social behaviour

Action

Operation Capio includes drone deployments, undercover patrols and focused days of action working in partnership with Sunderland City Council ASB team and other key stakeholders. We are proactively targeting known offenders whilst gathering intelligence from residents and businesses. Together with partners we are also looking at making changes to the physical locations affected, with landscaping, barriers etc.

Issue

Youth anti-social behaviour

Action

Our officers are working in collaboration with the Sunderland City Council ASB team, Youth Offending Team, and outreach youth workers. We have put in place a system for sharing information and focus upon early interventions and diversionary activities with young people.

Issue

Shoplifting

Action

Our officers are targeting known offenders and supporting repeat victims with crime prevention advice and reassurance. Civil orders are being used against prolific offenders.
