I wanted to provide you with an update regarding ASB, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

🚔👮 VISIBLE POLICING IN BLACKWOOD 👮🚔

#CaerphillyCentralNPT officers have been out on foot patrol through Blackwood Bus Station and the High Street today. 👣

These patrols form part of an ongoing operation to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and help keep our town centre a safe and welcoming place for everyone. 🤝🏘️

Officers will continue to provide a visible presence in the area, engage with the local community and take action where necessary. 💙

If you see our officers while they’re out and about, please feel free to speak with them and share any concerns or information you may have. 🗣️👮

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 aims to put victims first, giving power to local people and enabling professionals to find the best solutions for their local area.

The act provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.

These include:

• civil injunctions.
• criminal behaviour orders.
• public spaces protection orders.
• community protection notices.
• dispersal powers.
• closure powers.

The act also includes measures such as the Community Remedy and antisocial behaviour case reviews which empower victims and communities to have a say in the outcome of their reports and hold agencies to account.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.gwent.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
