POLICE, CRIME AND ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR UPDATE 21-27 SEPTEMBER 2022

CRIME STATS Over the last two weeks, 174 crimes have been recorded. Despite public order offences (28) remaining a prominent issue, theft (55) is still the top offence. As previously mentioned, car parks within the city centre are being targeted, with items being left on display encouraging theft, and as a result of this, our officers have been patrolling them to give out crime

prevention advice such as leaving leaflets on all vehicles to help deter crime. However, despite these efforts our officers are still noticing motorists are forgetting to remove valuables from their vehicles, resulting in a further increased risk of those offences. We urge all users of car parks to please secure all items out of sight.

TRANSITIONING INTO AUTUMN As the busy summer months end, there has been a large rise in local demand to which the policing team have risen to ensure our communities receive the service they require. With autumn nights drawing in, the next priority is Halloween, and Bonfire Night, before heading into the Christmas period. As we move into shorter daylight hours, the police are very conscious of the need for extra visibility in the city centre, so are in the process of incorporating additional

daily patrols to take place between now and the new year. This will be a big investment and it is vital that police officers are where they need to be to ensure they can provide the city centre with the service it requires. If you feel you are facing issues of antisocial behaviour (ASB), crime, or any other problems that require police presence please get in touch with the BID, so we can include that in our patrol plans.
