LETTERS are being sent by police to offenders and suspects charged with robbery, burglary or car crime warning "We are watching you".
Anyone charged or convicted of so-called priority crimes will be kept under scrutiny by officers, it says.
If they are accused of further offences they will have their names sent to the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit based in Huddersfield town centre - a partnership between the police and Kirklees Council.
Once someone is charged or convicted of a priority crime they will receive the hard-hitting letter from Huddersfield police commander Chief Supt Barry South.
In it he warns them they will now be monitored by police and if they are charged with any more offences their names will be passed on to the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit.
They are given details of the offence they have been accused of committing in the letter.
Suspects and convicted offenders are told: "Any behaviour of this nature is not only criminal, but also anti-social.
It adds: "The police and the people of Huddersfield will not tolerate such behaviour.
"This letter is sent to you as a warning.
"You are now part of a group of individuals being actively monitored by operational and intelligence officers in this division.
"Should you commit further crimes of this nature or any other acts of anti-social behaviour you will be brought to the attention of the Anti-Social Behaviour Team and may be subjected to an Anti-Social Behaviour Order."
The letter warns if an Asbo is imposed on them they are likely to be named in the Examiner.
"Think of the shame this will bring on you and your family," it states.
Sgt Julie Astbury from the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit said: "Before going for an Asbo we have the option to draw up an Acceptable Behaviour Contract with the individual."
Under the contract they promise to behave and not encourage others to misbehave.
The unit has links with other organisations running schemes ranging from athletics through to joining the army cadets to divert people away from crime. The unit can also refer offenders to drugs agency Lifeline Kirklees for help.
Sgt Astbury added: "The unit is a way of keeping a close check on people who have been arrested for priority crime."'
