  • On-street prostitution and brothels
  • Public sexual harassment such as cat-calling, unwanted attention or touching

Where does the team operate?

  • Our team work across the entire borough, responding to residents concerns and service requests.
  • We also proactively patrol the boroughs town centres, high streets and any areas covered by public space protection orders.

How we enforce

  • The Community Protection Taskforce officers have the delegated powers from the council to issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNS) for a breach of the Public Space Protection Orders. They use Anti-Social Behaviour legislation to tackle persistent and prolific offenders.
  • The use of enforcement powers by the Community Protection Taskforce is carried out with due regard to national legislation and the enforcement concordat.

Body-worn cameras

  • Our officers wear and use body-worn cameras which record visual and audio information.
  • The use of body-worn cameras allows for the collection of evidence which can be used in prosecutions, the accurate recording of engagement with residents along with improving the safety of officers and residents.
  • You can find out further information on the use of body-worn cameras on our CCTV page.
