Exmouth
Exmouth has received funding for street marshal patrols in the town centre.
The patrols aim to proactively disrupt crime and act as a deterrent, as well as providing a reassuring presence to help people feel safe.
Additional funding enabled daily police patrols in hotspot areas over the summer months. Police and street marshals will be working together to reduce antisocial behaviour.
Thanks to our partners East Devon Council for their help in setting up and managing these patrols.
“Hotspot policing is an innovative deployment, by which policing, councils and private providers can target and confront ASB and criminality together. Its strength lies in its data-driven focus on identified areas, along with the flexibility to adapt as circumstances change. It will reassure the public by virtue of presence and visibility, in tandem with providing credible challenge to those that undermine our communities. Our aim is to make our streets safer by this strengthening, collective work, thus ensuring the public do not feel alone.”
