It’s been a busy week working with CV ONE identifying individuals shop lifting in the City Centre. CV ONE have over 300 cameras in the CITY CENTRE and direct radio access to the St Michael's Neighbourhood Policing Team, meaning we have real time knowledge of offender’s location and have been guided to exact locations to arrest for such offences. We have also dealt with multiple neighbourhood disputes this week of anti-social behaviour ranging from parking and boundary disputes to reports of intimidation from groups of youths.
