We have seen a national increase in shop theft. Working alongside PABCIS we have successfully applied and secure funding to bring PABCIS to retail and licensed premises within Burslem. Work is underway with businesses to sign them onto the scheme with a view to reduce retail crime and disorder in the town.

Priority:
Anti Social Behaviour
Action taken:
This has been identified as an area historically high in serious violence and as such, is an area dedicated for patrols using government funding with officers carrying out foot patrols in the worst affected streets. Other locations have been identified for ASB mainly from gathering youths and other areas have been targeted for patrols by PCSOs in support of youth provision for the area.
