Community Update

Good Morning all,

Patrols focused on hotspot areas are essential as these locations experience higher levels of crime and antisocial behaviour. A visible police presence helps deter offending, provides reassurance to the community, and allows officers to respond quickly to incidents. Being highly visible also increases public confidence, encourages engagement with local residents, and helps gather intelligence that can prevent further criminal activity. Overall, targeted and visible patrols play a key role in reducing crime and maintaining public safety in vulnerable areas.

Kind regards,
