PFCC marks UK’s first ASB awareness week
Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, has joined a national campaign that is bringing together people and organisations from across the country to take a stand against anti-social behaviour and make communities safer.
Roger said: “Anti-social behaviour is unacceptable and causes immense levels of distress. ASB was being reduced even before the Covid-19 pandemic struck and it must be brought down further.
The recruitment of 68 new officers in 25 new Town Centre Teams have strengthened the connection between communities and police, working in a highly visible way to reduce ASB. We will continue build on the success of our Community Safety Partnerships and work with voluntary groups to tackle this.”

Fire service joins ASB awareness campaign
As part of the week's activity, ECFRS is using data to identify where recent incidents have taken place that have seen anti-social behaviour result in the fire and rescue service being called out.
Group Manager James Taylor, ECFRS, said:
“When people think of anti-social behaviour their first thought will often be violence or police issues. For us, setting deliberate fires and driving dangerously impacts communities every bit as much, and can have devastating consequences for the people involved and those around them."
