Dedicated patrols have started in the areas and they are being staged at the times where intelligence has indicated is when the most trouble takes place. They are being led by Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs)in the hotspot zones.
Inspector Ryan Walker of Nuneaton and Bedworth Safer Neighbourhood Team previously said: “We’ve been taking a zero-tolerance enforcement approach to antisocial behaviour in Nuneaton and Bedworth and are pleased to say we have already seen a consistent reduction in reports since last year.
"Utilising this new stream of intelligence about where and when ASB is taking place will help us to take a targeted approach and sustain the good work from our officers so far."
Speaking about the operation county-wide, Chief Superintendent for Local Policing Jill Fowler added: "Dedicated hotspot patrols have shown their effectiveness in reducing criminal and anti-social behaviour across the country, and we would welcome any extra resource that will allow us to make use of models we know work.
“Although the definition of anti-social behaviour, is broad and captures a wide range of behaviours, it has a very defined and measurable negative effect on our communities, particularly when it crosses over into more serious criminal activity.
“Preventing anti-social behaviour before it happens and having the resources to target it where we know it’s happening is a crucial part of keeping our communities safe. This additional funding will enable us to provide dedicated resources to tackle such behaviour in areas of the county where our communities are most affected.”
