Drug taking.

Issued 14 April 2026

High-visibility patrols are continuing in areas affected by drug activity, with stop and search powers used where appropriate. Stop and search is a legal power that allows officers to search people for items such as drugs.

No drugs have been found during recent patrols, but this visible presence helps deter offending. Officers are also carrying out drug warrants (legal permission to search a property) and using Closure Orders (legal powers to shut down properties causing serious problems) at identified addresses.
