Anti-social behaviour and drug use in The Camp, including Aldwick Court, Cunningham playing fields and Cell Barnes Lane
• Increased proactive high-visibility and plain clothed patrols.
• Since February, we have arrested 13 people and carried out nine stop searches.
• Known shoplifters that have been targeting the Co-op have also been reported to court and one prolific shoplifter received a 16-week prison sentence.
• A man – wanted for four months - was arrested on 6 May by officers on routine patrol in Foxcroft on suspicion of vehicle interference.
• Working with the Co-op to reduce shoplifting – which is part of a national issue.
Vehicle related anti-social behaviour at Starbucks and the A414 North Orbital Road.
This is a long-term neighbourhood priority involving vehicle related anti-social driving, illegal car meets and excessive noise along the A405 in Chiswell Green.
• We have been working on this complex long-term neighbourhood priority with Starbucks, Herts Highways, Herts County Council, local councillors, local residents, Burston Garden Centre and the PCCs office for many years.
• Acoustic monitoring technology was installed last year, which measures vehicles emitting noise above the legal threshold, funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. St Albans Neighbourhood officers have been the driving force behind the new technology being installed.
• Since the cameras have been in place, the number of reports of anti-social driving has reduced.

We did:
• Regular high-visibility and covert patrols at random times of the day.
• Dedicated officer for the college - PCSO Lou Traxon.
• Closer working with the college (words of advice and pupils have been expelled) and the Speckled Hen and local shops.
• Working with colleagues from Neighbourhood Policing Teams in Bedfordshire.
• Since this partnership intervention, we have seen a significant reduction in reports of ASB in the area.
