Address Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in hot spot areas, including high streets, local parks and open spaces

In order to tackle the anti-social behaviour in key areas, we are:
• Adopting regular foot and vehicle patrols to ensure high visibility in the local area
• Engaging with the community and local businesses facing problematic and persistent offenders, ensuring that we are listening to the needs of the public voice
• Issuing ASB warning letters, Community Protection Notices (CPNs) and Community Protection Formal Warnings Notices (CPWs)
• Hosting Police Surgeries in Sedgley, Coseley, Upper and Lower Gornal
• Working with local schools to ensure adverse behaviour is identified and addressed both in and outside the school environment
• Keeping the public informed of our work and engagement through the use of Social Media Updates - including posting to X and WMNow End of Six Updates

Promote Road Safety and Speed Enforcement

We work with our Community Speedwatch Groups to conduct Pro-Laser Traffic Operations in locations with reported speeding and arrange for Fatal Four Force Traffic Operations and Multi-Agency Road Safety Operations (MARSOs) throughout Dudley North.
Alongside our community operations, we also:
• Deal with quad bikes and motorcycles driving dangerously on and off the road
• Seize vehicles with no insurance and/or tax offences
• Communicate with local agencies to implement traffic calming measures
• Issuing enforcement notices for use of mobile phones whilst driving, speeding, dangerous or inconsiderate parking on the pavement, and defective/unroadworthy vehicles

Tackle Issues Around Business Crime and Shop Thefts

Our neighbourhood team have taken on a proactive approach to addressing the issues and concerns local businesses and residents have highlighted. Whilst working with the community and other neighbourhood police teams, we have been able to:
• Arrest prolific shop theft offenders
• Conduct regular foot and vehicle patrols of hot spots and repeat locations
• Gather intelligence and information to identify and arrest shop thieves
• Seize illegal substances and counterfeit products when assisting Trading Standards
• Recover items obtained from criminal proceedings
