ASB – Town wide – Ongoing core priority

We continue to engage with the community and monitor areas subject to ASB. A recent spike in youths engaging in ASB in the Town Centre and at Leisure World, Promenade has been noted. We will conduct high visibility patrols and liaise with housing and social care. We are supporting local businesses with regular patrols and work with other agencies and children’s homes to support youths and promote positive relationships. Liaison with schools continues. Local officers are working with housing and social services in relation to visiting youths and parents to minimise ASB.

Youths have already been identified and we are utilising the fairway system to deal with this. We have signed youths up to Anti-Social Behaviour contracts and parents are aware of the issues they are causing. Any offences will be dealt with positively and we will look towards Youth Justice Service intervention where appropriate.

Shop Thefts – Ongoing core priority

We are addressing this issue in areas of high demand. We are liaising with the retail premises in the HILDERTHORPE ROAD, PROMANADE, and ST JOHNS STREET areas to offer crime prevention advice and reduce demand which has risen through shop thefts. High visibility foot patrol in these areas will be conducted and working alongside are patrol officers we will deal with any offences positively. Working with the shops and using CCTV evidence we will look towards criminal behaviour orders for the prolific offenders. This priority links in with Operation YULETIDE.
