Crime in City Centre, Preston

We are committed to working closely with our partner agencies to tackle the issue of motorcycle antisocial behaviour across South Ribble.

We work with the Community Safety Partnership of South Ribble Council who have set up an initiative working with the force to help tackle motorcycle and e-bike nuisance across the borough.

Our Neighbourhood Policing Teams also carry out home visits to the addresses where the motorbikes are kept. We engage with the public and share good news stories on social media.

You will see our officers out around South Ribble targeting specific areas that have been raised by members of the public as having road safety concerns. Officers will be conducting speed checks and will issue penalty points and take positive action as required. This is an ongoing Operation as new locations are often brought to our attention.

Operation Vulture sees officers working closely with businesses to prevent crime and to identify and target offenders. This has resulted in numerous of our prolific offenders being issued with Civil Orders upon prosecution. These run side by side prosecutions and make it more difficult for the offender to re-offend.

Winter of Action sees our officers tackle those areas which have been highlighted as areas that have high anti-social behaviour issues. This includes both high visibility patrols, targeted operations and the use of civil orders for those involved in ASB in the area.

Lots of our activity is published on our Facebook channels. We welcome you to get involved in the public survey Lancashire Talking so you can inform us about local issues, then we can send information specific to the area you live/work. Want to have your say?
