Drug usage/concerns about dealing. Issued 14 October 2025 |
Robust action is being taken against drug users and anyone suspected of dealing. Intelligence is being acted on and my teams are proactively hunting those responsible. Multiple offenders have been caught and charged with drug offences by using both proactive and reactive tactics. My officers are patrolling at different times, in different places, led by precision data. Stop and search will continue to form part of the disruption tactics as well as ASB legislation in support of Misuse of Drugs Act powers to ensure that those using or dealing drugs are not able to operate in the area. A multi agency approach is ongoing with referrals supporting users and the strongest possible action in law being taken against those dealing/supplying. My team will continue to disrupt and frustrate any drug related operations in your area. Actioned 14 January 2026 |
