Tackling Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) in Devon and Cornwall

Hotspot and Neighbourhood Policing in 2025

Hotspot policing designed to reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) with targeted neighbourhood police and street marshal patrols in areas with the highest levels of crime was a great success last year.

Made possible through £2,000,000 Home Office funding and an additional £500,000 secured by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner to support street marshal patrols the initiative, which started in 2024, has so far delivered 45,214 hours of additional patrols in towns and cities across Devon and Cornwall.

Information received from the public about what is troubling their communities has been key to delivering this targeted policing.
