City North Strategic Priorities: April 2026 to June 2026 inclusive

Our partners have assisted us in reinforcing our Local Policing Priorities that effect and concern the community. These priorities do not replace those agreed at the NAT meetings, nor those defined through the respect survey, in fact this reinforces and compliments them.

Every three months sees a renewing of the three priorities we should have each quarter, we have focussed on what matters to our communities, we agreed to set and review the top 3 main priorities. The meeting to discuss these priorities is held every 3 months, and is attended by Local Neighbourhood Safety officers, Police, Nottingham City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Principle officer, also the Community Protection Team, to look at data provided by the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office, following perception surveys they conduct of the area around gaining local community concerns.

I have purposely and holistically looked to include those priorities concerning our community, these do NOT detract from other priorities such as, Auto crime, speeding, Thefts and several others including nuisance and littering.

We discuss, local community feedback provided to us by the Neighbourhood Development officers, which allows us to be more informed.

The agreed Priorities for the next 3 months, January 2026 to March 2026 inclusive.

1.Acquisitive Crime: (Burglary, Robbery, Shoplifting, Theft).
2.Drugs (Possession, Possession with intent to supply, cultivation of cannabis)
3. ASB (Including motorcycle / behavioural / speeding / begging)

March 2026 Update

It’s been another busy month for the team with a number of operations taking place to target the local policing priorities.
Three search warrants were executed across the city by the Sherwood team following intelligence being received about drug dealing activity in the area. A number of suspects have been arrested after items of interest were recovered and they remain under investigation.
Following a detailed and complex investigation by our colleagues in the Serious and Organised Crime team, 15 males were sentenced for their part in the supply of large quantities of Class A drugs into the City North area and beyond. See the following link for further details. This hopefully shows our dedication to tackling the drug supply issue that impacts the wider community in so many ways.
