Help Us Keep Your Community Safe from Drugs

Drugs damage lives and communities. We’re committed to tackling this issue head-on, and we need your help.

What We’re Doing
Neighbourhood officers are actively:

Carrying out targeted patrols in areas where drug activity is suspected
Acting on intelligence and reports from the community
Taking enforcement action against offenders

Recent successes include:

Several individuals prosecuted for drug-related offences, with some receiving custodial sentences

How to Spot Drug Activity
You can make a difference by staying alert. Common signs include:

Frequent visitors to a property at all hours, often for short stays
Strong smells (such as cannabis) from a property or vehicle
Windows blacked out or curtains permanently closed
Excessive security measures like cameras or reinforced doors
Discarded drug paraphernalia (small bags, foil, syringes)
Anti-social behaviour linked to a specific location
Sudden changes in a neighbour’s behaviour or lifestyle

If you notice any of these signs, please report it.
