Drug dealing and associated criminality
Drug dealing and associated criminality
Drug dealing continues to be a priority that the community want the police to focus on. The impact of drug dealing and associated criminality cannot be underestimated. Many other offences are commonly linked to drug related crime, thefts, burglaries, violent crime, knife crime and the carrying of other weapons. County Lines have become an increasing problem from towns like Bournemouth with the most vulnerable in our community being targeted, especially children. We have and will continue to work with other agencies to safeguard vulnerable persons, gather intelligence and information, disrupt criminality and bring offenders to justice.Action taken:

Priority:
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) As a result of our surveys our community have raised ASB as an issue which causes them concern. The term ASB encompasses a wide range of behaviours that cause nuisance and harm to others. We share responsibility with our partners to tackle ASB at a local level. Consistently the community have raised concerns around young people gathering, drinking alcohol, causing damage, smoking cannabis, littering and playing loud music. This is not an issue isolated to North Bournemouth and is an increasing problem across our county.
