| Description |
This photo shows officers and a police sniffer dog during a recent crackdown on drugs and anti-social behaviour in Coventry. Drugs and anti-social behaviour were two of the issues being tackled by officers as part of an estate-wide policing operation in Coventry. Officers and partners from the city council and Whitefriars Housing descended on the Spon End area of the city in response to community concerns about drug use and supply. Residents had previously raised concerns with the Bablake and Sherbourne policing team about anti-social behaviour and the use and supply of drugs on the estate and the impact this was having on the whole of the community. So on Friday 13 July officers, including specialist Traffic and Dog Units, were in the area, leading to three arrests including a man who was found to be in possession of a large amount of suspected to contain Class A drugs. He has been bailed pending further inquiries. Sergeant Jason Garbett said: "The tactics used today are deliberately highly visible for two reasons. Firstly we want to remind the few who are involved in criminality that they will be arrested and brought to justice. "Secondly we want to reassure our law-abiding citizens that we are listening to their concerns. "We will continue to act on all of the information that they provide on those individuals who are engaging in the behaviour that is affecting the quality of life of our community," The crackdown is the latest tactic being used by the team to tackle drugs and anti-social behaviour. Officers are keen for the public to continue to influence policing in the Spon End area. Sergeant Garbett added: "The public tell us that drugs and anti-social behaviour are two of the biggest influences that can affect their perception of safety. As we remove drugs from our streets we are able to break the chain of crime and anti social behaviour that can result from their sale and use. "The feedback to our operation has been really positive and with the public's continued support we will continue to achieve similar results." |
