Exe Valley Crime Intelligence

1. ASB driving. The boundary of this is sector wide so encompasses Exmouth seafront as much as issues on the Ottery patch including Clyst Honiton and the B3174 (Old A30). This whole patch approach reflects that the A3052 and Rolle St, Exmouth are our designated ‘high harm routes, but recognising the issues/perceived issues for Exmouth town and the seafront.
Our aim is not to stop people driving modified cars or indeed any car, quite the opposite, we must encourage people to come to our towns and spaces, however they must do it in a safe and considerate way.

Drug related ASB. This is a whole sector priority reflecting the fact that this effects not just Exmouth town but also Budleigh, Cranbrook, OSM, West Clyst, Etc. We will work to tackle either proactively or reactively, reports of drug use be it street or residential, that are blighting a community. This will include working with partners to not only seek prosecutions and target harden an area, but also to displace problem perpetrators out of that community. This work will include the targeting of drug fuelled/drug orientated ASB and crime suspects.

Hampton by Hilton Hotel. The only asylum hotel in the Force, this hotel presents both internal and external challenges. Internally it is a hotpot of vulnerability orientated crime and issue. Externally, protest and national tension make it a vulnerable location as a whole. The NPT play a vital role in this hotel be it the management partnership as well as community building, protest management, intelligence, and targeted crime enforcement. This location is subject to at least local national media and political scrutiny. By definition, the hotel is an ongoing critical incident.

Engagement. Visibility is one of the main pillars of neighbourhood policing. Our team will be actively be seen out and about in our communities. This can be on foot, on bike, by vehicle, on social media, at meetings, in schools, at local events or indeed any other opportunity to see and engage with our communities. This directly feeds into the other 5 priorities directly.
