Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Increase in anti-social behaviour (ASB) at Grindley park in Meir Heath, where large groups of youths are gathering, leaving rubbish and drinking alcohol. This has become the place to be for young persons to gather, especially during school holidays and with the recent warm weather.
Action taken:
Dispersed without a dispersal notice, which was considered, alcohol seized and ASB warning letters sent out.
-
Priority:
Increased reports of drugs been dealt and increased use of cannabis in Barlaston.
Action taken:
Increased patrols in the area, intelligence gathering and positive action taken against offenders.
-
Priority:
We have seen an increase in reports of hare coursing in the rural areas, which appears to be a national trend. Officers from the County Pro Active and Rural team have been tasked to try and gather intelligence and take positive action against anyone believed to be committing offences.
Action taken:
County proactive and rural teams asked to patrol the area, gather intelligence around those committing offences and take positive action.
-
Priority:
Reports of car cruising meets between Tittensor, via Meaford, Stone , Aston and Stafford/Creswell
Action taken:
As a result of the risk identified and the impact on the local community, proactive patrols have been deployed to the multiple locations. Vehicles identified have resulted in the keeper of the vehicles being issued with a Community Protection Notice Warning (CPNW), documenting conditions that prohibit them being involved in this type of anti-social activity.
Social media post shared on Stafford Borough Police Facebook page and also Stoke Police Facebook page due to close proximity to the border, to increase awareness around risk as proactive response to the problem. The Social Media post also provides information around a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place for the A34 between Trentham and Stafford in relation to historic issues around car meets/cruising in a attempt to manage further issues. This is alongside the issue of 23 Community Protection Warnings (CPW's) to keepers of vehicles from two incidents whereby vehicles have been reported as being involved/engaging in the reported activity.
