Introducing the ASB Co-Ordinator for Warwick District

Introducing the ASB Co-Ordinator for Warwick District

I would like to introduce myself. I am ASB Co-Ordinator 6178 Sharron Underwood. I have been a PCSO for Warwickshire Police for over 18 years. My previous beat patrol areas were Whitnash and Warwick Rural East, and I covered these areas for a total of 15 years. I wore many hats as a generic PCSO such as, Warwickshire Horse Watch Ambassador, Road Safety Educator for young drivers aged 17-25, Wildlife Crime Officer, Heritage Crime Officer, Educator for PREVENT, Early Intervention Network Support, Restorative Justice Officer, Peer Supporter and Emergency Services Trauma Intervention Support.

My current role is the Anti-Social Behaviour Co-ordinator for Warwickshire Police that is responsible for Warwick District. The role focuses on managing, preventing, and responding to incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) within a community.

Typical responsibilities include:

Receiving and assessing ASB reports from residents, businesses, and partner agencies.

Coordinating responses between police, local authorities, housing providers, youth services, and community groups.

Supporting victims of persistent ASB.

Gathering evidence and preparing cases for enforcement action.

Monitoring ASB trends and identifying problem locations or repeat offenders.

Implementing interventions such as warning letters, Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, Community Protection Warnings/Notices, or other measures available under relevant legislation.

Organising community engagement and problem-solving initiatives.

In a policing context, an ASB Co-ordinator often acts as the link between neighbourhood policing teams, local councils, and partner agencies to ensure a joined-up approach to tackling issues such as:

Noise nuisance

Neighbour disputes

Street drinking

Vandalism and criminal damage

Youth-related disorder

Public nuisance and intimidation

Environmental ASB

An ASB Co-ordinator would typically oversee or support the administration, case management, partnership working, and strategic planning aspects of anti-social behaviour operations, while PCSOs and neighbourhood officers may be more involved in frontline engagement, evidence gathering, reassurance patrols, and enforcement activity.

In short, an ASB Co-ordinator is the person responsible for coordinating the multi-agency response to anti-social behaviour cases and ensuring victims receive an effective service.

If you have any issues with ASB in your area, please report on 101 or online via the link below.
