  Together with partner agencies such as the Yeovil Crime Reduction Team and other services and charities we have been working to identify and take action against groups of youths and other more known individuals in the town centre. This works best with collaboration between the agencies as well as local businesses and information from members of the public. We are working hard to build cases enabling us to take more targeted action especially around the Yeo Valley area where there has been increases in acts of anti social behaviour. We have increased patrols around this area and are working with the businesses affected to escalate the response and deal with offences as swiftly as possible. We encourage all to notify police via our online platform and to call 101 if any anti social behaviour is witnessed so that we can maintain a zero tolerance attitude to this type of offence.

  Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) can have a devastating impact on individuals as well as our local community, and everyone has the right to feel safe where they live, and we all have apart to play in this.

  We always encourage our communities to report persistent Anti Social Behaviour in your areas, either by calling us on 101, using our website to report things online, or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

  Our local neighbourhood teams work alongside our constabulary’s specialist anti-social behaviour team, as well as other local authority services and charities, to work with those involved in low level offending. This ranges from warning letters to education and support. We also work with those involved in more persistent offending with higher end interventions, such as Community Protection Notices and Community Behavioural Orders that can include arrestable conditions.
