Priority:
Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.
We work closely with partners to tackle this type of behaviour, identify those responsible, and manage persistent offenders and locations.
We also continue to carry out intervention work with local schools and youth groups through our dedicated Neighbourhood Youth Officers.

Priority:
Antisocial Driving - e-scooters
Action taken:
In the first instance, we provide an educative approach on the legality of the use of e-scooters in Sussex.
Vulnerable road users, including pedal cyclists, are at heightened risk of serious injury or fatality in road collisions.With cycling promoted as a sustainable mode of transport, Sussex Police prioritises both the safety of cyclists and the enforcement of responsible cycling behaviour.
It is not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters. This means it’s illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping centres.
If you use a privately-owned e-scooter in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 Road Traffic Act 1988 for having no insurance.
If you cause serious harm to another person whilst riding an e-scooter, the incident will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car.

Speeding Vehicles
Action taken:
We are engaging with local communities and stakeholders to listen to their concerns surrounding anti-social road related issues.
We continue to support and promote force-wide campaigns, targeted operations with specialist units, and road related activity including Operation Downsway deployments.
We also liaise with local Community Speedwatch groups, deploy officers for speed checks, as well as encourage residents to utilise the Operation Crackdown service for reporting.
