  • Our priorities
  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Working with residents and partner agencies to reduce the opportunities for dwelling burglaries across Knighton.

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    Our daily business includes providing crime prevention advice. There were four offences in the Knighton area during June and July. However, we would really like to see zero, so whilst we continue to patrol and target known offenders, please refer to our website for crime prevention advice or visit one of our engagement events to speak to one of the team.

    Actioned 01 August 2026

  • Priority:

    Anti-social behaviour, including the use of drugs, in the area of Newmarket Street

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We have increased our presence in this area and our officers haven't witnessed any ASB or drug activity. However we are working with partner agencies to tackle some specific issues that have been brought to our attention.
    If you have any information that could assist, please contact us or report anonymously through Crimestoppers.

    Actioned 01 August 2026

  • Priority:

    Road safety, including the use of e-bikes / e-scooters, excess speed and anti-social use of vehicles.

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We have increased our presence in the areas that have been brought to our attention and are looking at setting up an enforcement day. Enforcement is part of daily-business, for example stopping a car on the way to other enquiries, but setting up such a day of action allows us to target a greater number of those putting everyone else at risk.

    Actioned 01 August 2026
