Address Underage DrinkingOp Snapper is an ongoing operation targeting underage drinking throughout the City Centre.  This includes Police patrols/presence in the local hotspot areas.


Reduce Public DisorderOperation Exposure aims to identify all those involved in public disorder throughout the city.  It gives the public an opportunity to help Police identify offenders.


Reduce Anti-Social BehaviourWith the help of the community, we are able to identify suspected offenders in order to address the issue of anti-social behaviour.  We have responded to reports from the public and as a result have noticed a reduction in the reports of anti-social behaviour and youths causing annoyance.


Respond to Crime TrendsAll of our patrols are targeted in the  areas you have told us you would like to see us more often.
