ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR (ASB)

Issued: 1 Jan 2026

Status Update

Using regular patrols, beat surgeries and local meetings to identify areas where ASB occurs and taking a holistic approach, including preventative measures, as well as the full range of sanctions available under ASB legislation, to deal with it, where it does happen.

Actioned: 1 Sep 2026

DRUGS SUPPLY

Issued: 1 Jan 2026

Status Update

Illicit drug supply networks often involve the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society and increases wider crime and violence, which devastates our communities. We will work with the community and partner agencies, to continue identifying those at risk of exploitation and ensure they receive the best support possible, whilst relentlessly pursuing and arresting those criminals at all levels, from the local dealer, to those who control and hold drug lines, and organised crime groups.
