  November 2011 update
  Your local beat team and other members of the Stapleford cluster are patrolling the areas, along with the new installation of CCTV cameras in these areas. This proved to be effective over the Halloween time as there were very few calls in relation to anti social behaviour at this time.
  High visibility patrols of the problem areas will continue.
  
  July 2011 update
  Two new initiatives were set up last month to help reduce the amount of ASB occurring in Broxtowe South. Op Animism – this operation is carried out every Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening by officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team. The team are tasked to patrol all the ASB hotspots in the area, these areas are identified from calls made by the public and current intelligence – taking into account social events, school holidays, protest etc. The other system that we have in place now is an ASB task force. This comprises of four PCSO’s who are sent to the highest risk hot spots for the County to tackle and stamp out ASB and the deal effectively with the persons causing the problems. High visibility patrols of both local beat officers and response officers in problem areas. A reassurance priority plan has been completed for each area within Stapleford which response officers at Beeston are tasked to patrol when time permits
  Working in partnership with the Council, we may issue warning letters to parents where younger members of the community are identified as repeat offenders of anti social behaviour. This is what we refer to as the AIMS project (ASB Intervention and Monitoring Strategy). This is best described as a traffic light system, which identifies how many incidents the individual has been involved in each week and highlights when ASB letters are sent out by the ASB Co-ordinator. ASB Officer Sharon Matthews works closely with Stapleford local beat team ensuring the correct individuals are being monitored on a regular basis. This may ultimately lead to the application of an ASBO (Anti Social Behaviour Order). These have been proven to work as a deterrent to further similar behaviour.
  We continue to operate Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Letters are sent to parents and also the details are shared with Broxtowe Borough Council should further interventions be required (AIMS). Shops in the local area will be visited to remind them of their obligations regarding the sale of alcohol to minors and will be subject of Test Purchasing operations together with Trading Standards. Regular visits to Sainsbury's speaking to Management and Staff ensuring all are aware of challenge 25. Asking Management and Staff at all shops known to sell alcohol, to monitor/limit sales of alcohol to persons known to drink in excess or pass alcohol to under age drinkers.
