- Worked alongside council partners to explore crime prevention and detection opportunities such as increased CCTV coverage in hotspots.
- Impact days provided by Safer Neighbourhood Teams alongside new student officers targeting retail crime and wanted persons, particularly in the highest areas of retail crime such as Riverside and Dereham Road.
- The trial of live facial recognition in the city centre areas of highest footfall.
