Tackling ASB around young offenders
Police take all reports of anti‑social behaviour seriously, and we will deal robustly with anyone engaging in behaviour that causes nuisance, alarm, or distress within the community.
Our Neighbourhood Policing Team actively monitors reports of ASB involving young people, particularly around key locations such as local parks, schools, and popular gathering points. Officers carry out regular patrols in these areas and work closely with schools, youth clubs, and partner agencies to identify those involved, offer early intervention, and prevent issues from escalating.
We recognise that some young people involved in ASB may also be vulnerable, which is why we work with families, education providers, and youth services to ensure the right support is in place. Our approach combines enforcement where necessary with guidance and diversion to encourage positive behaviour.
If you see or hear any type of anti‑social behaviour—whether in this area or elsewhere—please report it to us.
You can contact us through:
- Our website (online reporting)
- 101 for non‑emergencies
- 999 if a crime is in progress or there is an immediate risk to safety
Your reports help us target patrols, identify problem areas, and take action to keep the community safe.
