ASB is targeted every day by the force with the national campaign putting it in the spotlight.Each day of the awareness week centred on a set theme, these were empowering communities, best practise, partnership and local delivery and the impact of ASB on young people.
The types of activity planned by Neighbourhood Policing Officers (NPOs) included meeting members of the community during meetings and events, opportunities to provide education and literature about ASB and how to report it and patrols of areas where it is known to take place.
Superintendent Paul Allen signed a pledge confirming Leicestershire Police’s ongoing commitment to the cause.Inspector Claire Hughes, force lead for ASB, attended the Resolve charity launch for the awareness week.
