Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has secured an additional £1m of extra funding from the Government’s Hotspot Response Fund to target anti-social behaviour (ASB) and serious violence in hotspot areas across the county.
This means that there will be extra police patrols in areas identified as hotspots for anti-social behaviour across the county.
The high-visibility patrols deter offending before offences are committed. However, the officers are also ready to respond to incidents as they occur.
Last month, those extra patrols resulted in 12 arrests. The officers also recorded 33 traffic offences and carried out 39 stop searches.
As part of the operation, the public is encouraged to report antisocial behaviour by visiting the constabulary’s website Report antisocial behaviour | Cumbria Police or calling the non-emergency number for Cumbria police 101.
In an emergency always call 999. Information and intelligence from the public is vital so we can work together to tackle issues in their communities.
