Community Safety Team
The Community Safety Team comprises of a number of
different methods to tackle Anti Social Behaviour
through Education, Enforcement and Support:
Anti-Social
Behaviour- Anti-social behaviour covers a whole
complex of thoughtless, inconsiderate or malicious activity and has
perhaps the greatest potential to blight the quality of community
life.
Enforcement -
The Community Safety team is responsible for tackling
anti-social behaviour (ASB) and environmental crime in the
town. Investigating complaints of ASB and working closely with
other Council departments and external partners such as the Police
to bring about a prompt resolution to problems.
Environmental Crime
- (dog fouling, littering, fly-tips etc.) is also enforced by this
team, with a strong line taken against offenders, including the
issuing of on the spot fixed penalty notices.
CCTV - The team is
responsible for the town's CCTV systems which provide a useful tool
in the gathering of evidence and the deterrence against crime and
disorder.
Hate Crime - Hatred
is a strong term that goes beyond simply causing offence or
hostility. Hate crime is any criminal offence committed against a
person or property that is motivated by an offender's hatred of
someone.
