In response, agencies have met to share information and develop a strategic action plan to
address Anti-Social Behaviour. An effective and proportionate response from agencies
depends heavily on public reports. Therefore, if you are affected by Anti-Social Behaviour,
we strongly encourage you to report it to the Police by calling 101.When reporting, please:
▪ Provide detailed information, including exact times, descriptions of what you have
seen or heard, the number of people involved, and the nature of the Anti-Social
Behaviour.
▪ Provide any vehicle registration plates if you see offenders arriving or leaving the
area.
▪ Report incidents as they occur, rather than after the fact.
▪ Specify the exact location, if known. You can use the what3words app to pinpoint
the precise location of the incident.
▪ Mention whether you have any evidence, such as photographs, videos, or sound
recordings, that document the anti-social behaviour.
