What is anti social behaviour?

This
can include :
- Graffiti
- Criminal Damage
- Harassment/intimidation
- Misuse of vehicles
- Rowdy/nuisance behaviour
- Anti-social drinking
The safer Adur Team is committed to improving the lives and the confidence of those who live and work in Adur.
What is the safer adur team doing?
By adopting a multi agency approach, the Safer Adur Team is confident that it can reduce anti-social behaviour in Adur :
- Drug and alcohol education is being delivered to local schools by the Community Drug and Alcohol worker and the police School's Liaison Officer
- Detached youth workers are out and about developing relationships and promoting positive activities with the more isolated youths in Adur
- Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) are out on the streets, listening to local residents and actively challenging anti-social behaviour
- Street Briefings are being held in the streets where ASB is happening
- Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) are being drawn up and Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs or ASBO) are being applied for jointly by Sussex Police and Adur District Council
What can you do?
We believe the key to reducing anti-social behaviour is to work closely with the local community. We need you to :
- If a crime is in progress, call 999
- Call the Anti-Social Behaviour Hotline on (01273) 263356. This is a 24 hour message service. You don't have to leave your details but if you do, we will contact you within two working days
- Talk to your PCSO. You can find out who your local PCSO is by logging onto the Sussex Police website or by calling your local police station
- Keep a log of the incidents including times, dates and descriptions of the perpetrators. We can supply you with an incident diary to help you do this
