Chief Superintendent Debicki said: "Working in partnership has had a proven track record in bringing about huge reductions in burglary and vehicle crime over the last few years and the potential for further collaboration to achieve similar results against anti-social behaviour and violent crime is huge."

"These results have not and cannot be achieve by the police alone - reducing crime relies upon the effects of many agencies and in this town partners have come together in a very sophisticated and effective way to tackle the issues."
