Motherwell & District Area Partnership Police Report Motherwell & District Area Partnership Police Report 12 August 2006 - 4 October 2006 1. GENERIC ISSUESRELATINGTO ALL WARDS Safer Scotland The Safer Scotland Anti-Violence Campaign is supported by the Scottish Executive and delivered nationally by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Scotland). The aim of the campaign is to build appropriate alliances to respond to the respective levels of violence in the country. The campaign's main theme is to find sustainable, innovative solutions to our violence problem through a series of targeted and locally focused campaigns. A knife amnesty took place between 24 May and 30 June 2006 where bins were placed at Motherwell and Wishaw Police Stations for weapon deposits. This did not deter the sub-division's stop / search policy with a number of high profile patrols taking place in conjunction with targeted searches of suspected offenders. The campaign is continuing to focus on youth alcohol consumption and associated acts of disorder / antisocial behaviour. For the period covered by this report the following results have been achieved for 'NE' Sub-Division, which covers Wishaw and Motherwell. 1007 stop searches 57 visits to off sales 132 visits to other licensed premises 0 61.8 litres of alcohol seized from adults 73.1 litres of alcohol seized from juveniles 64 under 18s reported for street drinking 104 over 18s reported for street drinking Violence Reduction Strategy The Safer Scotland Campaign will be underpinned by the divisional Violence Reduction Strategy that will set out what the Division's intentions are and how it intends to achieve a reduction in the number of victims of violent crime. This initiative will run until 31 March 2007. Divisional Control Strategy The sub-division will continue to deliver the Divisional Control Strategy in relation to local crime, community safety and antisocial behaviour priorities and will seek to involve partners and the local community to positively impact on community concerns. Problem Solving The establishment of problem solving groups in identifiable communities to identify issues of joint concern, devise joint actions and provide long-term solutions to community priorities is being progressed. Groups are currently established in North Motherwell, Muirhouse, Jerviston and Forgewood. Active Citizensh i p The Police Schools Liaison Officer continues to deliver the Citizenship and the Law Programme in local schools, which aims to develop young people as active citizens and encourage them to take pride in their communities. Antisocial Behaviour Joint working opportunities with the Police, housing providers and NLC Antisocial Task Force will be realised in an effort to tackle recurring antisocial behaviour problems. This will include sharing of information, joint visits to problem tenancies and instigating effective enforcement techniques. Midnight Football League This is a multi-agency diversionary initiative held each Friday at the new outdoor football pitches attached to Braidhurst High School from 1830-2130 hours. This will be run as a 13 week pilot with the possibility of extending it beyond this period.
