Our officers are targeting known offenders/nominals and supporting repeat victims with crime prevention advice and reassurance. Civil orders are being used against prolific offenders.

We are proactively targeting known offenders while providing residents with tailored crime-prevention advice. Local neighbourhood officers are taking ownership of repeat offender management, adopting a problem-solving approach to reduce offending and support community safety.
For those who persist in committing crime or antisocial behaviour, we will seek Criminal Behaviour Orders to provide a stronger, long-term deterrent and help protect the community.

We are carrying out a series of targeted Days of Action, with further dates already planned. These operations are conducted in partnership with a range of local agencies. Officers in plain clothes, along with police drone support, are being deployed to identify and apprehend offenders.
We will continue to take robust enforcement action, including the seizure of motorcycles, issuing of warning notices, and prosecutions for driving offences. We are also working closely with Gentoo and the Local Authority to use civil orders where appropriate to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour.
