DEVON and Cornwall Police has joined a national campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).

ASB Awareness Week 2022 encourages communities to take a stand against ASB and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.

Organised by Resolve, an ASB and community safety organisation, the week brings together councils, police forces, housing associations, charities, community groups and sports clubs to show that tackling ASB is truly a multi-agency effort.

Assistant Chief Constable Jim Nye said: ‘We are supporting ASB Awareness Week because we have seen the impact ASB can have on people’s lives. Tackling ASB is a priority for the Force and we are working hard to make sure that people understand what ASB is and who it should be reported to.’

Police Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez said tackling ASB was one of four priorities in her Police and Crime Plan.
