Addressing persistent and repeat crime, ASB across North Devon remains our local Neighbourhood policing priority. This aspect featured highly amongst recent surveys and through our interactions with community members and parish and district councils colleagues.
The local policing teams across North Devon work in partnership with NDDC colleagues and other local partners to identify and tackle ASB issues, therefore it is imperative for local residents and communities to report matters that are having a detrimental impact locally. These can either be reported directly to D&C Police online or to North Devon District Council.

Addressing the use, possession and supply of controlled substances (drugs) across North Devon remains our local Neighbourhood policing priority. This aspect featured highly amongst recent surveys and through our interactions with community members and parish and district councils colleagues.

The local policing teams across North Devon rely heavily on information being shared by local residents and community members in regards to drug use, possession and supply. This enables an enriched picture to inform local officers and patrols to identify, detect and disrupt such activity. Therefore if you become aware or observe information relating to drug usage, please contact either D&C Police online or consider contacting Crimestoppers (0800 555 111) who offer an anonymous reporting process.
