OP RESOLVE - High Visibility Foot Patrols


Research has identified that hotspot policing can reduce crime and disorder.  Warwickshire Police have received Home Office funding under OP RESOLVE to take action in town centres, through ‘hexagons’ on maps, known as hotspots for anti-social behaviour and violent crime.

 

The main aim of this operation is therefore, to be highly visible and engage with the community to prevent anti-social behaviour in these key locations where we know there is crime and disorder.

 

Officers will be conducting high visibility patrols in the following area on the date given.  If you see us on patrol, please say hello and stop for a chat.

 

 

Date of Patrol:  08/11/2024

Location of Patrol:  Bedworth town centre

 

 

 

What is hotspot policing?

Hotspot policing is a well-documented crime prevention initiative that sees us focus efforts such as patrols and other initiatives/plans on targeted locations where data indicates there is significantly more crime than other locations.

The strategy is based on the premise that crime and disorder are not evenly spread within neighbourhoods and, instead, are clustered in small locations.

Focusing police capacity on those locations aims to prevent crime in the specific areas and further reduce overall crime levels in the wider geographic area.
