Business Crime

High Visibility Patrols, alongside partnership working between Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire Council, Salisbury BID, and other partner agencies. These days of action will help tackle business crime and anti-social behaviour, which are having a significant impact on individual businesses as well as for the wider community. The Salisbury Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) is a collaborative initiative between the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Salisbury BID, Wiltshire Police, and local authorities.

PSPO Street Drinkers /ASB in the city centre

The continued implementation of the PSPO in the City Centre regarding ASB associated with drinking alcohol. Increased high visibility patrols are being conducted during key times of the day to deter and reduce such incidents. Partnership work is ongoing with Wiltshire Council to embed longer term preventative measures regarding prolific offenders.

Rural burglaries

Proactive patrols are taking place in rural locations across Whiteparish and Wilton following several reports of non-dwelling burglaries in some of these areas. Predominately outbuilding have been targeted, tools and bikes have been reported stolen. Local officers are liaising with colleagues in Hampshire and sharing intelligence and information regarding these offences.

ASB related to off road motor bikes – Old Sarum and Longhedge

We have recently seen an increase in reported incidents of ASB in the Longhedge and Old Sarum area. These incidents have been related to use of off-road motor bikes being driven in a dangerous manner around residential areas.

Community Speed Watch

The teams continue to support, where capacity allows, the positive work the Community Speed Watch teams do across the area.

Vulnerable checks

Officers conduct regular visits to our identified vulnerable people to both reassure them following reported concerns and to deter visits by criminals who wish to exploit them. We have been working closely with Wiltshire Council Housing on evidence to support several injunctions which we have now got in place. These premises are visited regularly by the teams to provide support to those who are most vulnerable.

ASB and Violence linked to Nighttime economy

Dedicated patrols will increase during NTE (Nighttime economy) in the city centre as we are approaching the summer months and especially during the World Cup fixtures. We will continue to work closely with our licence premises and door staff to prevent and deter any ASB or violent incidents from happening.
