This week is ASB Week and PCSO's Sam FELLOWS and Dave HANCOCK have been working hard to make themselves available to you - our community!

Sam and Dave have:

✔ Visited Whaley Thorns Primary School twice this week to engage with the children, join in with playground activities and engage in the classroom.
✔ Worked with Guinness Housing in the Pear Tree Drive area to put together a community litter-pick.
✔ We have been giving out FREE bike lights to children so they can be seen during the darker evenings.
✔ Worked alongside Bolsover District Council and conducted a Street Surgery for anyone who wishes to let us know if they are experiencing anti-social behaviour.
✔ Conducted an anti-social behaviour street walk in an area where young people are known to gather, causing a nuisance and drinking alcohol.

Although we have put together these engagements as part of our Anti-Social Behaviour Week, this is the type of work Sam and Dave do on a regular basis in order to tackle issues of ASB in our areas and due to this, we have seen a reduction in ASB.

However, we do know this doesn't always mean it isn't happening and understand that some people don't always report ASB to us but we want you to. There are many ways we look at tackling ASB and working in partnership with other agencies is something we do on a regular basis.
