City North Strategic Priorities: October 2026 to December 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.
In the meeting held on the 30th of September 2026 the priorities were set for the period of October to December 2026:
1.Drugs offences (supply and possession)
2.Antisocial Behaviour (including criminal damage and arson)
3.Retail Crime

The work done earlier in the year to tackle issues of antisocial behaviour around Southglade Park and Leisure Centre continues. We continue to monitor the 35 individuals who were issued with warning letters and those who were subject to joint visits with City Council Housing officers to ensure they are continuing to maintain an improved standard of behaviour.
Following on from the success of the previous football engagement event at the location took place on the 30th of October, be run in partnership with FSM and Notts County Foundation. Over 30 youths attended and took part in the event on a gloriously pleasant Autumnal afternoon.

A drugs warrants was executed at an address linked to the supply of drugs in the City North Area in October 2026 and applications made to the courts for additional warrants that will be conducted in November.

In relation to retail crime officers investigated 72 shop theft offences in October.
Amongst those offenders detained were a 37 year old male who was charged with 16 offences and put before the court and the arrest of a 42 year old male in relation to a string of offences at Co-Op stores where threats of violence were made against staff. We will be monitoring offences in the coming months when the offence of assaulting a retail worker comes into effect as a result of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 – to ensure positive action is taken to protect retail workers.
