Target and deal with motorcycle nuisance Continue to prevent the purchase and acquisition of alcohol by juveniles . These are the priorities that people in your local area have agreed with Coxford Safer Neighbourhood team. You can influence these priorities by contacting the team, attending a street briefing or speaking to officers when you see them out and about. Issues can also be raised with one of our officers at the Community Police Office at Sainsbury’s Lordshill, located at the back of the store. If there is no-one staffing the office when you visit please fill in a feedback card and leave it in our post-box. If you wish someone to contact you about your issues leave your contact details on the feedback card and one of our team will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

 


Action taken in relation to your priorities

 

You Said: Motorcycle nuisance was a real concern in your area

 

We Did:

We recently ran Operation Convergence which is a multi agency approach to deal with offenders of motorcycle nuisance. There have recently been two successful prosecutions. Further operations are planned.

 

You Said: Youth nuisance, particularly alcohol related was an issue

 

We Did:

We ran Operation Awareness, highlighting the consequences of purchasing alcohol on behalf of juveniles. 

 

Operating Marker has taken place, which involved marking bottles and cans from various off-licence premises which enables us to identify where the alcohol has been purchased when seized from juveniles. This has resulted in a number of successful seizures made by officers and the relevant off-licence has been dealt with.

Neighbourhood Watch Schemes

The team are actively looking to introduce Neighbourhood Watch Schemes in the Coxford areas. Neighbourhood Watch is a partnership where people come together to make their communities safer. It involves the police, community safety departments of local authorities, other voluntary organisations and, above all, individuals and families who want to make their neighbourhoods better places to live. Neighbourhood Watch aims to help people protect themselves and their properties and to reduce the fear of crime by means of improved home security, greater vigilance, accurate reporting of suspicious incidents to the police and by fostering a community spirit. 
 
If anyone is interested in getting involved in a Neighbourhood Watch scheme or wants to be  a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator, please contact the team at Shirley Police Station.
