Crime in truro boscawen & redannick, cornwall

Tier one ‘Hotspot’ funding continues for Truro for the remainder of the financial year (March ‘26). This additional funding enhances our ability to proactively patrol the key areas within the city centre. We carry out these patrols with key partners; in particular ‘Asbo Steve’ and the BID funded ‘Rangers’.
This is a sector based priority, lead by our two NBMs assigned to the city centre-PCs Grimstead and Holman.
We continue to review ASB logs to ensure appropriate crime recording is taking place, but also identify crime patterns or repeat offenders.

Our NH teams are locally based.
