St Michael's

Anti-Social Behaviour in the City Centre
This includes individuals who are involved in public space alcohol consumption, drug use, aggressive begging and the dangerous use of illegal E Bikes

The St Michaels Neighbourhood Team is working with the Coventry City Council and other partners to stop illegal use of E Bikes often driven dangerously in pedestrian areas. We are using powers under the Public Space Protection Order to require riders to dismount when riding carelessly.

Business crime, Serious Youth Violence and ASB in Lady Herbert Gardens has been highlighted as a key issue for St Michael's.

There have been enhanced partnership patrols across the area to reduce offending and improve the area for the public who utilise it. Various policing tactics have and are being used which have resulted in several arrests.

Local priorities also include Theft of Motor vehicle (motorbikes and scooters), VAWG – focusing on vulnerable females (domestic/sexual offences) and robbery

The team have worked alongside traffic and specialist trained officers to disrupt offenders, target repeat locations and safeguard potential victims. There have been numerous targeted days of activity during the day but also overnight during the nighttime economy.

Plain clothes officers are deployed to detect those perpetrators that are displaying concerning predatory behaviours. The Safer Summer plan seeks to ensure policing and partners focus on hotspot locations.
