Peterborough City Centre

Using a combination of your feedback and our own data, we have set the below priorities for your local neighbourhood policing team in Peterborough city centre for April to June 2026 are:

• Disrupting repeat anti-social behaviour (ASB) offenders
• Increasing our visibility within the retail sector
• Targeting ASB on the Embankment.

- Disrupting repeat anti-social behaviour (ASB) offenders

Officers have recently secured two Criminal Behaviour Orders for people persistently committing anti-social behaviour in the city centre. These provide strict stipulations preventing further offending. If they are ignored, then the individuals face further action from the courts. Officers have also enforced Public Space Protection Orders and issued both Community Protection Warnings and Notices on multiple occasions.

- Increasing our visibility within the retail sector

The introduction of a dedicated retail crime officer (PC Jenkins) has seen a significant improvement in visibility within the retail community. This has resulted in an increase in crime reports and detections due to the enhanced level of engagement with businesses. We continue to work alongside the BID and Queensgate Shopping Centre to combat retail crime.

- Targeting ASB on the Embankment

Increased patrols at the location have been ongoing with multiple people dispersed due to their behaviour. We continue partnership work with local businesses, including the Key Theatre, to help reduce ASB in the area. Collaborative patrols with Peterborough City Council enforcement officers also continue.
