Information Update – 13th August 2010

Operation Phoenix 2010
This operation has been running since April of this year the main aim being to target the riders of off road motor cycles or any other anti social use of off road machines.
So far the operation has been a success with a 30% reduction in complaints; this is a result of extra covert and high visibility patrols in identified “hot spot areas”.
These areas are identified by local officers acting on complaints and local information we receive, without this information the operation would not be as successful as it has been so far. We will continue with the operation until October when a full evaluation will be carried out.
