Kirklees police step up action against anti-social behaviour

With Halloween and Bonfire Night fast approaching, police are getting tough over anti-social behaviour.

Across Kirklees, Safer Schools officers will be reinforcing the message about how seriously they treat anti-social behaviour and to remind students that their actions have a community-wide impact.

Local Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be working with residents to identify issues and to establish ways of tackling them.

West Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable John Robins said: “Anti social behaviour can blight a local community and we are doing all we can to stamp it out.

“ Calls reporting anti-social behaviour typically increase around Halloween and Bonfire Night .

“It is important that everyone considers the consequences of their behaviour, and knows when what they consider to be fun crosses the line into being anti-social.”
