Campaign to tackle dog fouling

We know that dog fouling is a common problem across Nottingham.

To tackle this problem, an initiative is in place to keep our pavements, public parks and grass areas clean from dog mess.

Fixed Penalty Notices of £50 will be issued to anyone who is caught allowing their dogs to foul in your area. Failure to pay can result in a maximum penalty of £1000.

Auxiliary CPO recruitment campaign

Increasing levels of unemployment can leave some residents with the need to rebuild their confidence and retrain for the modern economy.
 
To help address this issue, Community Protection has been awarded funding from One Nottingham to create part-time Auxiliary CPO posts for those interested in a career in policing, security and enforcement fields. Successful applicants are able to take advantage of a complete training and support programme.

To drive applications for this role, Community Protection launched a recruitment campaign fronted by WBC Champion Carl Froch, using a mix of promotional activity including a media launch, bus, tram and radio advertising.

Campaign to reduce cycle theft

There are around 150,000 bikes stolen in the UK every year and many are never recovered. To reduce the risk of cycle theft in Nottingham, we have put together a book of top tips which include, making sure you use the bike racks located around the city to what type of lock you should buy. Also included in the guide is a bike passport, which offers a way of recording details about a bike. Consequently, in the event of a bike being stolen this information will be ready to give to the police.

Campaign against Kerbcrawling

Nottinghamshire Police, Nottingham City Council and Taxi Licensing identified the problem of some taxi drivers being used by passengers to pick-up prostitutes.

A poster campaign has been launched to offer support to taxi drivers who are asked to look for a prostitute. The severe consequences for the driver were highlighted in the campaign and reinforced the seriousness of the offence the passenger would be committing.

The campaign highlighted the severe consequences for both the driver and passenger.

Community Protection's On-Street Prostitution taskforce are constantly developing innovative ways to tackle the issue of kerbcrawling.
