Operation Ivydene
What is Operation Ivydene?
Dyfed-Powys Police, with support from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, has received almost half a million pounds to combat antisocial behaviour (ASB) across the force area in a dedicated response known as Operation Ivydene.
Through Operation Ivydene, ten areas - known as ASB hotspots - will receive an extra 11,000 hours of police patrols over the next eight months.
“Antisocial behaviour can have a serious impact on the quality of life on people who want to go about their daily lives.
“These hotspots have been selected as the areas experiencing the highest volumes of violence and antisocial behaviour (ASB) offences and based on local intelligence.
“The patrols aim to provide a reassuring presence to help people feel safe while also proactively disrupting crime and acting as a deterrent.”
“ASB can have an overwhelming impact on its victims and, in some cases, on the wider community.
“An effective response to antisocial behaviour requires innovation, strong partnerships between local agencies, and a mindset that puts victims first. These ASB Hotspot initiatives aim to achieve just that.”
