Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Retail Theft – Priority

How we are addressing this: Community events, liaise with staff about report these offences, crime prevention discussion and patrol around the high traffic retail areas, including Derriford Retail Park and Marsh Mills.

Youth ASB
this is something that is a priority all year round, as we know ASB spikes and then there is a period where ASB incidents decline. There is currently no major ASB issues raised by the community on our patch. However, when ASB issues are raised, we prioritise getting positive ID of all individuals, issue ASB1 and if necessary ASB2, Liaise with parents and schools. Early youth intervention is a priority to prevent escalation of ASB within the community.
