Operation Enhance: Anti-social behaviour reduced as people urged to give feedback on operation
Chief Superintendent Andy Wilkinson said: "The high-visibility hotspot patrols continue to coincide with significant reductions in anti-social behaviour across almost all of the 18 areas.
“Tackling anti-social behaviour and serious violence are top priorities for the Constabulary and will remain top priorities going forward.
"As we approach the end-point for the funding for the operation, we will be looking at the legacy of Operation Enhance and what we can do to ensure the gains which have been made since Summer 2024 are built upon."
As part of Operation Enhance, officers conduct high-visibility patrols aimed at deterring anti-social behaviour and serious violence before incidents occur.
