Penrith Town

Reports from local residents of drug activity and drug dealing in the town.

Actively targeting our known offenders, vehicles and addresses within Penrith town. This is done by conducting high vis foot patrol, plain clothes, gathering information via Streetsafes and submitting intelligence. Our main is always to get warrants granted from the courts and Eden NPT will execute these. We always ensure we are listening to the public and residents and will follow up any issues. If appropriate we are carrying out stop searches on nominals and seizing vehicles.
We continue to gather intelligence from the local community in regards to drug activity within the town.
We are continuing to complete street safe surveys in areas which have been affected.

Several arrests have been made in relation to drug offences with investigations on going.

ASB & serious violence

Operation Enhance aims to target this kind of activity and sees extra patrols in areas identified as hotspots for anti-social behaviour and/or serious violence.

We continue to use hotspot policing methods to target the areas identified as concern.

Keeping Town Centres Safe initiative is due to launch over the summer.
