Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Off Road Bikes
Action taken:
We understand the ongoing issue with offroad and Electric Motorcycles.
The neighbourhood policing teams are taking a multi-pronged approach to combatting this, by actively engaging with members of the public to educate them on the dangers and legal status of riding without a valid license and insurance which is required and through enforcement action, via Operation Endurance, which focusses on targeting and seizing problematic offroad and Electric motorcycles.
As a result of this approach, we have seized and destroyed multiple nuisance bikes over previous months. We would encourage members of the public to report any known locations of these bikes to police and partners.
-
Priority:
Anti Social Behaviour
Action taken:
We are aware of the ongoing issues caused by anti-social behaviour, and along with partner agencies including the local authority and housing we continue to adopt a problem-solving approach to combat this. We would like to encourage the public to report incidents to police and partners, as we use this information to inform our problem solving and enforcement strategies and direct our resources.
We proactively target locations with a high prevalence of ASB within our communities and use a range of tactics including drone technology to identify and take appropriate action against those responsible, this can include both criminal powers and civil powers
-
Priority:
Drug use and supply
Action taken:
We continue to work with partners, including those in the local authority, to target both drug dealing and drug use, especially where it involves the exploitation of vulnerable people. We utilise a broad range of powers to target those responsible and to bring them to justice, whilst also providing support and reassurance to those who become victims of exploitation.
We will continue to act on the intelligence provided by the public to reduce the harm that drugs cause in our communities.
