Local Priorities
- Anti-Social Behaviour/Drug related issues
There has been an increase in reports of drug related ASB in public spaces in Huddersfield. The reports suggest that there are frequent gatherings of drug users at locations causing disruptive behaviour and that individuals are buying and using drugs in public spaces. This is causing community concern and distress to local residents. Along with the reports of drug taking there is also an increase in ASB associated with such matter and littering and noise nuisance are a concern. The priority is, in conjunction with partners, to deal with drug related offences, and associated ASB in and around the highlighted locations.
- Reducing Theft from Motor Vehicles and Theft of Tools from Trades' Vans
Vehicle-related crime continues to impact communities across Huddersfield, with offenders targeting both secure and insecure vehicles. Key concerns include the theft of catalytic converters, high-value trade vans, and tools or items left on display. These offences not only disrupt livelihoods—particularly for tradespeople—but also contribute to wider community unease and a sense of vulnerability. Reducing vehicle crime is a priority to improve public confidence, protect property, and support the resilience of local communities.
- Traffic, Road safety and poor parking
There has been an increase in reports of poor, anti-social parking at various locations in Huddersfield. Reports suggest that poor parking is occurring around various educational venues, causing local issues and concerns. The priority will be for the police to work in conjunction with partners to provide education and reinforcement around these areas. Further partnership working will tackle illegal and ASB driving. This will see targeted patrols and days of action established to address these issues
- Shop Theft
We will be focusing on tackling thefts from local businesses and retail premises, as well as addressing reports of individuals begging near shopfronts, which has been causing concern for staff and customers. Businesses are encouraged to report incidents via 101 (non-emergency) or our online reporting facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/report-it or alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Status Update
- Anti-Social Behaviour/Drug related issues - We have worked in partnership with the local council, housing, greener space and the fire service to organise targeted days of action. We have actively engaged with the community to bench mark their concerns and taken action to address these. Through targeted policing several drug related arrests have been made with Class A and B drugs seized and removed from our streets. Abandoned vehicles have been recovered and fly tipping removed. We have targeted and recovered several off road bikes throughout all ward areas. We have acted on community intelligence and executed several Section 23 Misuse of drugs warrants at various locations. Cannabis valued at several thousand pounds has been recovered and suspects arrested and identified. We will continue targeting the above throughout the next quarter.
- Reducing Theft from Motor Vehicles and Theft of Tools from Trades' Vans - Vehicle crime continues to be actively managed across Huddersfield. All theft from motor vehicle and theft of motor vehicle offences reported during April have been reviewed, with follow up visits and reassurance provided to victims by neighbourhood staff. CCTV enquiries continue to be completed in all cases to maximise investigative opportunities. These actions have led to a number of positive outcomes amongst which are an individual who was charged in relation to numerous offences 12 weeks imprisonment and a further individual who was charged and remanded to court for 6 offences, they remain awaiting trial. Officers have maintained a visible presence in areas identified through crime pattern analysis and intelligence. Engagement has also taken place with local traders and residents to promote crime prevention measures, including securing vehicles and removing tools from view. Work has continued to support property marking and to develop intelligence around the resale of stolen tools, with partner engagement ongoing. Crime levels remain lower than previous reporting periods, and this area remains under close review.
- Traffic, Road safety and poor parking - Neighbourhood Policing Teams have actively targeted and pursued owners and riders of off-road bikes, especially as we move into the Spring/ Summer months. We are working closely with Petrol Stations owners and staff to assist in identifying those using the highway for off road bike activities. We are actively seeking and responding to community intelligence around the use of off-road bikes, and will issue Section 59 warnings and carryout seizures whenever possible.
- Shop Theft - Town Centre - Teams continue to work with business owners to share intelligence and take enforcement action. NPT Officers have issued Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Community Protection Notices (CPNs) to known nominals. Our dedicated Town Centre Team are increasing patrols and visibility to deter crime, provide reassurance to businesses, and ensure the public feel safe. NPT Officers have conducted revisits to identify offenders early so arrests could be made promptly. Police Contact Points have been set up in high-footfall areas to reassure businesses and the public, while offering an opportunity for residents to discuss local issues and receive crime prevention advice.
