Police in Peterborough to step up the fight against anti-social behaviour
Police in Peterborough are stepping up the fight against anti-social behaviour across the city.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary is putting a new focus on targeted patrols by its neighbourhood policing teams, engaging with residents and working with partners to address concerns raised by communities.
The action comes as part of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week 2026, takes place from June 29 to July 5, which seeks to raise awareness of the impact of anti-social behaviour and action being taken to tackle it.
Police anti-social behaviour lead, Superintendent Paul Rogerson, said: “This highlights the work we do every day to tackle anti-social behaviour and support our communities.
"We are committed to listening when people contact us, responding quickly and taking the right action to resolve issues.
"By working closely with our partners and focusing on the concerns raised by residents, we can address the harm caused by ASB and help ensure people feel safe where they live.”
Police say that acts of anti-social behaviour have a lasting impact on people’s quality of life, from nuisance behaviour to more persistent and harmful activity.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary works closely with local authorities, housing providers and community organisations to prevent ASB, support victims and take action against repeat offenders.
A range of powers are used where appropriate, including Criminal Behaviour Orders, closure orders and Community Protection Notices and warnings.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Darryl Preston, added: “We all have a right to feel safe where we live.
"Anti-social behaviour can cause misery in our communities and while officers work hard to tackle these issues, it is a partnership approach that leads to safer and stronger communities.
“Tackling anti-social behaviour remains a priority for me, and I continue to invest in our local Community Safety Partnerships who play a vital role in supporting the police to resolve the issues that matter to local residents.”
