Devon and Cornwall Police has launched an action plan focusing on persistent offenders and anti-social behaviour hotspots.

Devon and Cornwall Police has introduced an action plan across its force area as part of the government's Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee. The plan focuses on persistent offenders and anti-social behaviour hotspots, developed alongside communities, local authorities and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Police report anti-social behaviour incidents fell by 10.2 per cent in the twelve months to May. Superintendent Emma Butler-Jones, the force's dedicated anti-social behaviour lead, said the plan focuses on issues that matter most to local people, with a renewed focus on problem-solving, hotspot patrols, partnership working and robust action against persistent offenders. The force highlights examples including a public spaces protection order in Crediton, waterfront patrols in Plymouth and Community Safety Accreditation Scheme activity involving Torbay Council and SWISCo.
