Antisocial behaviour - general.
Action taken:
Officers continue to take proactive action to address antisocial behaviour within the community. High-visibility patrols are carried out in areas where concerns have been raised to deter offending, provide reassurance to residents and engage with local people about ongoing issues. Officers have also issued Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) where appropriate. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning given when a person's behaviour is having a negative impact on the community and is intended to prevent further incidents before stronger enforcement action becomes necessary. Through ongoing patrols, engagement and enforcement activity, officers continue to work to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve community safety.
