Officers in Barnsley want to hear from you, about any issues you have and what you would like police to focus on where you live.


As part of a dedicated operation to protect vulnerable people, engage with communities and tackle crime, residents can expect to see a particularly increased police presence on Wednesday 15 February, for Operation Duxford.


Officers and PCSOs will be flooding the town centre, Kendray and Goldthorpe, talking to as many people as possible, to listen to any concerns they may have.


The community, intel led operation focuses on residents’ concerns and what can be done to solve them.


Chief Inspector Mark James, said “Officers will be in Barnsley Interchange and the town centre, with a number of crime prevention stalls, to offer advice and to listen to any concerns people may have.


“We are aware that there have been issues of anti-social behaviour in and around the interchange and I want both residents and local business owners to know that we have listened to those concerns and have been acting on them.


“Through this operation, we are able to robustly tackle anti-social behaviour and reassure those who regularly use the interchange about what we are doing and how we have been tackling this issue.


“Our dedicated neighbourhood teams in Kendray and Goldthorpe will also be focusing on crime and antisocial behaviour in those areas.


“We know what a blight anti-social behaviour can be on people’s lives and we don’t want anyone to suffer where they live. Operation Duxford is an excellent opportunity for you to come and talk to us while we’re out and about.


“Let us know about any issues or concerns you have so we can do something about them. “


Follow Barnsley West LPT and Barnsley East LPT on Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday 15 February to see all of the Operation Duxford posts and activity going on, as well as some behind the scenes footage.
