Newton Abbot

Newton Abbot 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 are working together to reduce antisocial behaviour.

Thanks to our partners Teignbridge District Council for their help in setting up and managing these patrols.

“Hotspot patrols are key to providing impactful engagement and a reassuring presence in the areas we are needed most. By using this proven methodology, we can be confident that we are working to make our community safer. Collaborating with our partner agencies will further strengthen our efforts to decrease antisocial behaviour and serious violence in Newton Abbot.”
