City North Strategic Priorities: April 2026 to June 2026 inclusive
Our partners have assisted us in reinforcing our Local Policing Priorities that effect and concern the community. These priorities do not replace those agreed at the NAT meetings, nor those defined through the respect survey, in fact this reinforces and compliments them.
Every three months sees a renewing of the three priorities we should have each quarter, we have focussed on what matters to our communities, we agreed to set and review the top 3 main priorities. The meeting to discuss these priorities is held every 3 months, and is attended by Local Neighbourhood Safety officers, Police, Nottingham City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Principle officer, also the Community Protection Team, to look at data provided by the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office, following perception surveys they conduct of the area around gaining local community concerns.
I have purposely and holistically looked to include those priorities concerning our community, these do NOT detract from other priorities such as, Auto crime, speeding, Thefts and several others including nuisance and littering.
We discuss, local community feedback provided to us by the Neighbourhood Development officers, which allows us to be more informed.
The agreed Priorities for the next 3 months, January 2026 to March 2026 inclusive.
1.Acquisitive Crime: (Burglary, Robbery, Shoplifting, Theft).
2.Drugs (Possession, Possession with intent to supply, cultivation of cannabis)
3. ASB (Including motorcycle / behavioural / speeding / begging)
May 2026 Update
It’s been another busy month for the team with a number of operations taking place to target the local policing priorities.
Four search warrants were executed across the city by the Bestwood, Sherwood and Bulwell teams following intelligence from the community being received about drug dealing activity in the area. Class A and B drugs have been recovered and investigations are ongoing. A number of suspects have been arrested and a 19 year old male was charged and remanded for being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs following the Bulwell warrant.
Unfortunately we have seen increases in ASB around Southglade Park and Leisure Centre with large gatherings, damage being caused and small fires being set. The three neighbourhood teams have been working hard to deal with this and enforced dispersal authorities. We are working with partners including Nottingham City Council Housing Services to deal with this behaviour and take appropriate action.
