Anti-social behaviour

There have been concerns raised by the community about anti-social behaviour in the area. In Micklefield, the neighbourhood policing team were receiving increased reports of youths being disruptive on quad bikes. This has since resulted in a quad bike being seized and a number of the young people involve receiving warnings. Over the last three months, officers have been working to get closure orders on addresses identified to have frequent criminal activity, this prevents individuals responsible for anti-social behaviour coming and going from addresses as well as possibly removing occupants for a period of time if offences escalate.
The team will continue their high visibility patrols around areas identified to be most impacted by anti-social behaviour, these will be locations around Terriers, Totteridge, Micklefield and Wycombe Marsh. The neighbourhood team use their “hotspot” app to keep track of their patrols and ensure all required areas have been visited. They will also seek to engage with residents to both understand current concerns and provide reassurance.

Drug offences

Drug offences are a top concern within the community. The neighbourhood team are working to gather and build on intelligence surrounding drug possession, drug dealing and county drugs lines in order to put a stop to drugs operations and see offenders dealt with accordingly. High visibility patrols will be taking place in areas identified to be the most impacted. The neighbourhood team will also be conducting visits to local schools to educate and safeguard young people around drug crime.

Speeding

Speeding has been raised as a concern by residents due to the safety issues and subsequent anti-social behaviour that comes along with reckless driving. The neighbourhood teams will be conducting periodic speeding enforcement with speed guns on roads identified to be most affected.
Neighbourhood staff have also been promoting the community speed watch groups to local residents who are concerned about road safety in their community. This is a voluntary scheme that allows members of the public to join a group in their area to carry out speed checks and enforcement. It is statistically highly effective in preventing road offenders reoffending. For more information please visit: www.communityspeedwatch.org
