Youth disorder in Gateshead Interchange
Action
The neighbourhood policing team are working in partnership with Nexus staff and Interchange security. High visibility patrols are being conducted at key times and knife arch operations are being carried out to identify anyone carrying weapons. Through partnership work, a large television monitor has been installed which is visible to the public showing CCTV monitoring in progress.
This has shown a significant reduction in incidents of anti-social behaviour and disorder.
