I thought I have answered the question fully. Please be specific and I will oblige. Alternatively ring 101, ask for me personally and I am happy to discuss.

The question was how many police hours could have been spent instead on paying Swift, not if it was a good idea or not employing them.
You didn’t answer this one either…

From a policing perspective from 5 January 2015 2 officers from each patrol rota have been specifically assigned to Caia. That means that unless there is a dire emergency elsewhere they will remain on Caia for the whole of their shift. Additionally we have appointed a high quality community beat manager who problem solves repeat issues. With regard to the youths, we know there are a hardcore of about 16 who cause the most problems there. We are quite openly targeting these youths, 5 have been arrested since January 5th and placed on strict curfews which means they have to be indoors at a specified address from 7pm – 7 am and we check that they comply with that condition. One didn’t and has now been remanded to prison.
From a joint perspective Hugh and I are at the front of setting up a harm reduction unit which sees Council and Police officers working from the same office to provide a more effective and speedy response to issues when they arise.
We also have the multi agency anti social behaviour tasking group which meets monthly and discusses key individuals. From this forum we are working hard to implement the new anti social behaviour legislation which is victim focused. We also work closely with tenancy enforcement which essentially puts at risk a council tenants occupancy of their home should they or their children indulge in anti social behaviour or criminality.
There is much going on, but much more will be done! Caia is a priority area for both organisations.
This is clearly not working! Heard from officer that the youths that stole our car, despite being identified are getting away scot free as there is not enough evidence to take the case to court. One reason for this apparently is the delay of 5 days from the offence being committed and them being arrested resulting in loss of forensics! They had one in for breaking his curfew the next day so shouldn’t this have been dealt with then?
