Priorities

1 Aug 2025

Drug Harm Reduction

•Priority for June - August

•Priority for September - November

Targeting drug related crime in your town through intelligence, enforcement and partnership work.

Police led operations, targeting known areas of drug use and drug dealing, as well as partnership work around known addresses causing drug harm in your area.

Response (1 Aug 2025)

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER

Ongoing work with Langney Shopping Centre to identify areas subject to drug exchanges, with officers committing to patrols around the area to act as a deterrent and to identify those involved.

ACTIONS TAKEN PREVIOUSLY JUNE – AUGUST

Reports of individuals involved in potential drug exchanges around the local shops in Langney.

During the course of recent patrols officers have not identified individuals, and hope that through additional patrols these have acted as a deterrent to those conducting exchanges in the area, should further incidents be witnessed by communities, your local ward officer encourages communities to report those at the times so that further patrols can be conducted.

In the last four week patrols for the Langney area have averaged at 2 patrols per shift, averaging at 2 hours per patrol.

1 Aug 2025

Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

•Priority for June - August

Working with partners and youth organisations, including schools and colleges to identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB.

Addressing and taking action against ASB in the form of nuisance noise, such as noisy cars.
