Specific:
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) includes actions that cause harassment, alarm, or distress to others—such as persistent noise nuisance, street drinking, vandalism, threatening behaviour, or groups causing intimidation within the community. Measurable:
We have seen an increase in reported ASB incidents across local neighbourhoods. Accurate reporting allows police and partners to identify patterns, target hotspots, and take appropriate action to prevent further incidents. Achievable:
You can help reduce ASB by reporting incidents promptly and correctly: - Call 101 for non-emergency ASB (e.g., ongoing nuisance, repeat issues, or concerns that do not pose immediate danger).
- Call 999 if there is an immediate risk to life, threat of violence, crime in progress, or serious disorder.
Relevant:
Timely and accurate reporting enables neighbourhood policing teams to respond effectively, safeguard victims, and work with partner agencies to address underlying issues. Without reports, persistent issues may go unnoticed and unresolved. Time-bound:
Report incidents as soon as they occur or when it is safe to do so. Early reporting helps build evidence and supports quicker intervention.
✅ Key Message:
