We have secured £1 million of extra funding which will see extra patrols in 18 areas identified by statistical analysis as the county's hotspot areas of anti-social behaviour and serious violence.  

As part of this work, we are keen to hear the thoughts of people who live and work in these hotspot areas – please take five minutes to complete this survey: https://forms.office.com/e/srjy010hfq

The operation will see extra patrols in 18 areas identified by statistical analysis as the county's hotspot areas of anti-social behaviour and serious violence. These areas include areas of Carlisle, Barrow, Workington, Whitehaven, Kendal, Penrith, Maryport, Cleator Moor, Ulverston and Bowness-on-Windermere.

The operation will see officers targeting all types of anti-social behaviour which blight communities from youths carrying out criminal damage to putting in doors to shut down drug dealing operations.

These high visibility patrols will also target those who commit serious violence in these areas too – including arson, robbery and violence including sexual assaults - to ensure the safety of our communities.
