This is the result of a lot of hard work by the police officers in North Flintshire, members of the community and other bodies such as the Council. We don’t intend to rest on our laurels. To increase the probabilities of success, we are running a number of operations that essentially mean we are targeting offenders in a number of ways all at the same time. This approach is going to remain part of our day-to-day policing to ensure that the downward trend in crime continues. Over the next few weeks, I’ll let you know how we are getting on but, suffice to say that we have already had some pleasing results.
