Issued: 1 May 2026
Status Update
- We will conduct high-visibility foot and mobile patrols within town centres, retail parks and known ASB hotspots focusing on peak times. Intelligence and local knowledge will be used to identify repeat locations, nominals and any emerging trends linked to seasonal behaviour. Officers will make effective and proportionate use of police powers where appropriate, including stop and search where grounds exist, ASB legislation, dispersal powers and retail crime prevention measures.
- We will engage positively with young people and groups congregating in public spaces, using early intervention, advice and direction to prevent issues escalating. Close working relationships will be maintained with retailers, security staff and business watch schemes to share information, encourage evidence preservation and support prevention activity. Where ASB is persistent or location-based, we will problem solve alongside partner agencies such as local authority, Safer Kirklees, CCTV, youth services and housing. Patrols will also be used as opportunities for community engagement and visibility, reinforcing public confidence and improving accessibility through methods such as contact points.
