Newark & Sherwood Local Policing Priorities July - October 2024
Following consultation with Newark & Sherwood District Council and taking into account current crime trends and community feedback, the following local priorities have been set for the Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
1)Anti-social behaviour.
2)Drug supply
3)Vehicle Crime

1)We continue to work hard to tackle ASB. We are benefitting from additional Home Office funding for additional hot spot patrols. We have been dealing with offender through our ASB pathways programme and through the use of the Immediate Justice Scheme, and we are working with partners on Safer Streets 5 aimed at tackling ASB in Balderton North. We work closely with NSDC and have recently secured a number of closure orders, injunctions and criminal behaviour orders aimed at dealing with prolific offenders.
2)The team are focused on proactive intelligence gathering in order to target those supplying drugs in our district. We have executed 11 drugs warrants since the start of the year, and followed these with a number of premises closure orders.
3)We have an active operation running aimed at targeting theft of motor vehicles both locally and cross border into Lincolnshire. We have secured the support of the Road Crime Team in targeting our patrols and developing intelligence to identify, disrupt and arrest those responsible.
