What happens when I report anti-social behaviour?
We can only make a case if the evidence against anyone accused of anti-social behaviour is strong. Your call to the ASB Team or 101 may be passed to City Patrol. They may be able to deal with it straight away or decide to watch the area for a while. City Patrol contact callers, where possible, to update them on what action ahs been taken. If you are reporting an ongoing problem, one of our area ASB Investigators may call you to talk about the problems in more detail. They may take a statement from you or you may be given diary sheets to record the details of the behaviour as it happens. If the anti-social behaviour is serious the police may also be involved. We record all reports of anti-social behaviour; they are sorted by area and taken to monthly area meetings led by our Anti-Social Behaviour Team. ‘Hotspot’ areas and repeat ‘offenders’ are discussed by staff from council teams, local agencies and the police at these meetings and decisions are made about what action or interventions
