St Stephen's Ward Update

St Stephen's Ward Update

Dear Resident

Over recent weeks, your local policing team has been carrying out increased high-visibility foot patrols across St Stephen's Ward. These patrols have focused on areas highlighted by residents and partner agencies, providing reassurance, engaging with the community, and addressing concerns around anti-social behaviour, drug use, and crime.

Alongside these visible patrols, officers have also been conducting plain-clothes proactive operations within the ward. These deployments are designed to identify and target individuals involved in criminality, gather intelligence, and disrupt offending behaviour that may not be apparent during routine patrols.

The combination of overt and covert policing tactics allows the team to both reassure the community and take positive action against those committing offences. We remain committed to tackling the issues that matter most to residents and encouraging the reporting of crime and suspicious activity.

Thank you to everyone who continues to speak with officers, provide information, and support our efforts to keep St Stephen's Ward a safe place to live, work and visit.
