Priorities:

1 - ASB in town centre locations
2 - Theft of bikes & motorbikes
3 - Shop theft

Priority Period:

April to June 2026

How priorities are chosen:

The priorities for the Rushcliffe Neighbourhood Team is reviewed every 3 months in a Multi-Agency meeting attended by local authorities, problem solving specialists, and neighbourhood policing teams.

The meeting looks at the data from crime recording and intelligence systems held by the police, as well as data from the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office and responses to the ‘What Matters’ survey submitted to the police via the Notts Alert system, in order to determine which matters are important to our communities.

The priorities selected do not detract from other priorities either locally or across the force.

Why these priorities have been chosen:

1 - ASB in town centres
Whilst ASB is down around 20% in the last year, recent incidents in town centres involving disorder and ASB have been noted, specifically in the early evenings, and over weekends.

2 – Theft of bikes & motorbikes
Whilst numbers are not significantly high, there is a persistent group of offenders in the region targeting bikes & motorbikes which requires our attention and focus, as these thefts can have a big impact on the victim.

3 – Shop Theft
Shop theft makes up the single most time consuming draw on resources for the Neighbourhood Police Team in terms of investigation and time dealing with prisoners. Whilst we have had successes in reducing shop theft year on year, this crime is still a key target for us.
