New weapon in
fight against crime P
olice tackling anti-social behaviour in Borehamwood have a new weapon to help
them in their fight. A six month dispersal order has been granted
for officers and PCSOs from the Borehamwood Neighbourhood Team in their efforts to tackle the problem in and around the Alban Crescent area, in Cowley Hill. The order can remain in place until September
2012. It gives powers to police officers and PCSOs allowing them to disperse groups of two or more persons that are causing or are likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to members of the public. Police can ask members of the public or
persons in a group to leave the area and not return within 24 hours. Failure to comply with such a direction can result in that person being arrested. Neighbourhood Inspector for Hertsmere, Neil
Morehen, said: ―This is the first ever dispersal order for Hertsmere and experience from other areas where they have been in place shows they assist greatly in reducing anti-social behaviour.
―The order was requested to address the
behaviour of a small number of youths and young adults that has had an adverse effect on the quality of life of the residents in the area. ―Those committing anti-social behaviour are in
the minority however, it is important we do all we can to ensure law abiding citizens can go about their daily business unaffected and not feel intimidated. I look forward to seeing the positive effects in the coming months.‖ The dispersal order covers Cowley Hill,
Winstre Road, Grove Road, Norton Close, Gateshead Road, Reston Close, Pursley Gardens, Crown Road, Alban Crescent, Odessey Road, Caishowe Road, Hartforde Road, Bracken Close and parts of Thirsk Road and Stanborough Avenue.
