Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Criminality and ASB associated with the supply of controlled drugs including the impact of County Lines
Action taken:
We have executed drugs warrants and arrested and prosecuted those involved in the supply of controlled drugs. These offenders target the vulnerable and blight local communities. We work with partners to protect those at risk of being criminally exploited.
-
Priority:
Anti-social behaviour in public places including Long Eaton Town Centre
Action taken:
A partnership approach to anti-social behaviour has been utilised and we have worked closely with Erewash community safety team, Neighbourhood wardens and our business community to tackle prevalent issues over recent months. Individuals have been arrested and, where appropriate Criminal Behaviour Orders applied for. We continue to target prolific shop lifters and, by requesting rehabilitative orders through the court, seek to address to root cause of their behaviour as well as managing future offending through relevant prohibitions. Work remains ongoing with our local authority partners to ensure that best use is made of the Public Spaces Protection Order Legislation.

Priority:
Working with partner agencies to support vulnerable persons in the community at risk from criminality
Action taken:
This extends beyond those who are at risk of exploitation from those supplying controlled drugs and relates to individuals in the local community with underlying vulnerabilities who are coming to attention as either victims or perpetrators of crime. A holistic approach to safeguarding these individuals has been essential in preventing future offences and improving these individuals quality of life. A lot of this work is unseen but through working together with our partners to provide a supportive approach, a number of individuals have been able to remove themselves from dangerous situations.
