Crimes and priorities
-
Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Drug use, dealing, and the associated antisocial behaviour.
Action taken:
Our particular focus is around Linacre Court. Unfortunately, Class A drug abuse has returned to the area, having previously removed it. Our plan is to work with the local authority around a lighting and CCTV plan together with targeted patrols and prosecutions against drug dealers.
-
Priority:
Theft from Motor Vehicle.
Action taken:
This is currently our only increasing crime indicator. While we have decreased it since the spike over the winter, it remains higher than it was last year, in stark contrast to all other crime types.
Our reports show that this is not confined to one area so we cannot use targeted patrols. However, we have changed the focus to make sure that officers are parked vehicle focused and are sensitive to aligned behaviours
-
Priority:
Public Space Patrols
Action taken:
The ward panel have asked for police patrols to focus on ASB found in the ward's public parks such as Gwendwr Gardens and Marcus Garvey Park. This is building on the work already done to reduce ASB generators around the park, such as unoccupied buildings.
