Tel. 01257 246104 Fax. 01257 246132 e-mail, [email protected] BRITPOL PC235 Richard Booth Lancashire Constabulary Scanning. Clayton Brook estate on the outskirts of Chorley is a large-scale housing development under the control of North British Housing Association (N.B.H.A). The estate accounts for over 30% of all calls to police, and 28% of crime within the Wheelton section. The objective was to find methods of reducing this figure. Analysis. Police data was examined and it was discovered that a significant number of incidents were emanating from a small number of individuals or households. For example police had been called to one address 32 times in a one-year period. N.B.H.A. also hpld data in which individuals and households regularly highlighted anti social and criminal behaviour. Traditional policing methodswere having no lasting effect upon these problem makers; as in isolation the incidents seemed relatively minor. Response • A partnership between N.B.H.A. and Police was established. • An existing protocol was resurrected under which data held by the partners could be exchanged. • Hardcore offenders were identified and targeted and a zero tolerance approach adopted. Close liaison with CPS on target offenders. • Both partners gathered information on the targets and a file was prepared. • Individuals jointly visited and warned. Any continuation of the behaviour and N.B.H.A. instigated eviction procedures. Assessment. Initially very successful and within a short period of time targets who chose to ignore their warnings were taken to court.
