Crime in Heene, Worthing

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.

We work closely with partners to tackle this type of behaviour, identify those responsible, and manage persistent offenders and locations.

We also continue to carry out intervention work with local schools and youth groups through our dedicated Neighbourhood Youth Officers.

Where ASB is related to drinking alcohol in public areas, we continue to work with our partners and support organisations that specialise in drug and alcohol programmes.

We have received several reports of drug related activities in the listed areas.

We continue to conduct patrols in these areas and engage with people in the area, and engage with the community, act on intelligence and work in collaboration with drug service providers and outreach programmes to support local people.

Working in partnership with key stakeholders enables us to deter the harm being caused within our community, and patrols continue in areas where drug related activity is reported.

As a preventative approach, our Neighbourhood Youth Officers continue to work with local schools and colleges to raise awareness of drug harm and the risks involved.

Proactive operations involving specialist teams take place regularly to identify, arrest and disrupt persons involved in drugs possession and supply.
