Current Priorities

Issue

Motorcycle related crime and ASB

Action

Launched Operation Capio, with dedicated Home Office funding used to staff dedicated enforcement days during which officers have identified prolific nuisance riders and seized their vehicles. The team frequently analyse reported incidents to track down and target offenders and work with partners to make problem areas inaccessible for bikes.

Issue

Anti-social behaviour focused around transport hubs

Action

Op Maple has been developed to put in place high visibility police presence at metro stations and transport hubs. This has been complemented by the effective use of dispersal powers and early intervention, working with our multi-agency partners.

Issue

Shoplifting

Action

Operation Paradise was launched to ensure local neighbourhood officers can target repeat offenders whilst also offering victims crime prevention advice.
