Last month (December 2024), officers spent more than 1,200 hours doing extra patrols to target disruptive or damaging behaviour affecting our communities.
On these patrols, they made 48 arrests and 36 stop-searches, whilst also speaking with more than 8,000 people.
This included getting groups to disperse, discussing concerns from the public and addressing issues as they arose.
Officers on these extra patrols dealt with a variety of incidents, from anti-social driving to intervening in fights and assaults with officers in Chesterfield intervening to stop an assault and arresting a man who was wanted for offences including robbery, previous assaults, and malicious communications.
Hotspot Policing Manager Becky Clough said: “The impact of these patrols has been clear with an overall reduction of 14% in anti-social behaviour where these patrols have been taking place.
“Our Immediate Justice scheme, which sees those caught committing crime complete work to benefit the community, continues to be a success as 74% of those completing the scheme have not offended since.
“For anyone who is seeing anti-social behaviour in their community I would urge them to come forward and report it – as we rely on those reports to direct our patrols and ensure that officers are patrolling in the areas that are most affected.”
