To date we have begun work to identify those responsible for the ASB, through targeted patrols of the locality, engagement with affected parties and locations and suspects, and engagement with the school. There is due to be a series of assemblies at the nearby school to educate children on what ASB is, its impact and the law. This will remain a priority for us to masure the impact of our plans for the next few weeks.
