Anti-Social Behaviour – Kingsmead Square
Working on tackling both an immediate rise in ASB in the Kingsmead Square area and problem solving long term issues.
• A data driven approach, identifying specific locations, times, days, and behaviours. Using this information to created frequent and informed patrol plans.
• Use of our Mobile Police Station to be parked in Kingsmead Square. This allows officers to parade from location. Creating both an increased presence in the area and more opportunity for members of our community to come and engage with us.
•A joint agency approach. Working with a number of partners, including but limited to; Bath City Council, Bath BID, Bath CCTV, Julian House + DHI, and local businesses and residents of the area.
•Engaging with local businesses and residents to recognize the impact local ASB is having on them.
