New Hotspot Patrols Enhance Safety in Bideford

Bideford has taken a significant step toward enhancing community safety by launching hotspot patrols to curb antisocial behaviour and serious violence. This initiative, funded by a hotspot policing strategy, is among the first in Devon and Cornwall to deploy street marshal patrols.

These patrols are designed to provide a reassuring presence, helping residents and visitors feel safer while proactively deterring criminal activity. The goal is to foster a welcoming and secure environment in Bideford's town centres.
