M.

Approach will be to Apply VOLT P/S model to this area. Where offenders identified consider Achilles heel tactics.
A – Create a bespoke development plan based on Intel from victim type, location and suspect descriptions. Create an operational plan based on the Intel with enforcement to be considered by way of CBO's for Prolific Offenders.
R – Portobello Road has a high profile street market coupled with a high number of eating and drinking establishments. This attracts high footfall of local and visitors to the area and is a prime target for drug dealers to operate. ASB associated with this could also be a potential for violence on the ward. Residents want police to target this area to reduce crime and build confidence.
