Cultural Quarter Priority Update - November 2025

Hello,

Attached is our November updates regarding our beat priorities and plans we have moving into December.

November Update

Addressing Anti-Social Behaviour in Open Spaces
Officers have been actively assisting in various operations within the City Center to address anti-social behavior (ASB). These efforts have been supported by high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot areas.

Looking ahead to December, patrols will be increased in anticipation of higher footfall in the City during the lead-up to Christmas. This proactive approach aims to provide reassurance to the public and deter ASB from occurring.

Preventing Burglary and Retail Theft
As we move into December, there will be an increased police presence at retail stores within the beat to help prevent offences during the busy shopping period.

The beat team continues to focus on repeat offenders, working to prevent further offending through the use of bail conditions and Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs).

Crime prevention advice will also be shared on social media, offering helpful reminders about ‘Darker Nights’ and the importance of securing windows and doors.

Safer Nights Out for Women

December will bring a number of events, parties, and celebrations into the City Centre. The team will maintain a proactive presence within the night-time economy to provide reassurance and high visibility.

Planned operations targeting predatory behaviour will also be increased throughout December to prevent offences and ensure public safety.

Take care,

Joe Culverwell
