Issued: 4 Mar 2026

Status Update

We are tackling antisocial behaviour with high visibility foot patrols on evening shifts, and Officers continue to work hard to identify problem youths with both engagement and enforcement.

We have completed a Shoplifting operation, however the best practices from this operation will continue indefinitely

Several drugs warrants have been executed and engagement with schools and religious settings are ongoing..

Working with Lancashire Road Safety Partnerships, we have increased enforcement on certain local roads with ongoing issues.
