Police to deal with antisocial behaviour complaints

Police forces in England and Wales are now required to respond to antisocial behaviour complaints within 72 hours.

The move aims to provide more accountability from local neighbourhood policing units, according to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Each police force will appoint an antisocial behaviour lead officer and establish regular community engagement through ‘police beat meetings,’ according to The Times.
