· CREATING SAFE SPACES IN PARTIUCLAR FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

Operation Ash provides high visibility patrols in areas with over 300hrs conducted in February. The Night Angels are now embedded within the Night Time Economy (along with various other partners). The Angels are there to provide support, safeguarding and sign posting to women and girls and will conduct regular high visibility patrols in areas identified through the safer spaces online reporting tool.

· TACKLING ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR (ASB)

Operation Ash remains throughout the City with hot spot locations being patrolled daily thanks to home office funding specifically to tackle ASB. Multi Agency Problem Solving meetings occur weekly where repeat perpetrators are discussed and signposted accordingly. There have been over 300hrs worth of patrols conducted in hot spot areas in the month of February.

PD (Police Dog) Ollie and PC Shields remains committed to providing high visibility patrols throughout Gloucester combatting ASB.
