Although anti-social behaviour (ASB) is decreasing, it remains a key concern for residents in the Chelmsford district.
Issued: 5 May 2026
Status Update
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) can have a serious impact on community life, causing fear, anxiety, and isolation, affecting mental health and disrupting daily routines. Our Neighbourhood Policing Team works closely with partners, including Chelmsford City Council, to address ASB in all its forms.
We focus on identifying emerging trends and sharing practical advice with residents to help protect them from its effects and ensure they know how best to report incidents. By working together with our partners and the community, we aim to reduce ASB and create safer, stronger neighbourhoods for everyone.
