I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Antisocial Behaviour, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. A dispersal order is in place for Fleet this weekend as officers continue to tackle anti-social behaviour in the town centre.
Officers have implemented a dispersal order under Section 34 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to cover the area pictured in the map from 12pm on Saturday 18 October until 7am on Sunday 19 October.
The area covers Fleet Road from its junction with Kings Road in the north to Oatsheaf Crossroads in the south, across to Albert Street in the east.
The order gives officers the power to order a person to leave the area with no return within a specified time period. Those who refuse to comply with the order are committing a criminal offence and are liable for arrest.
The Fleet Neighbourhood Policing Team, alongside our response and criminal investigation colleagues, have been working hard to address ASB and criminality in the town centre, and dispersal orders are just one of the tactics available to tackle these issues.
Officers will be patrolling throughout the weekend and anyone with any questions, information or concerns is asked to approach patrolling officers or call us on 101.
Hart Inspector, Lisa Eastlake, said: “We are continuing to take all reports of anti-social behaviour extremely seriously which is why we have implemented a dispersal order for this weekend.
“We want people to enjoy Fleet town centre, but any anti-social behaviour and violence will not be tolerated and offenders will be dealt with robustly.
“We know that anti-social behaviour and any associated criminality can make life miserable for local residents and businesses, but please be reassured that we are determined to put a stop to it and target the individuals involved.
“If you have witnessed or been affected by anti-social behaviour in the area, please continue to report it to police, so we can target our patrols and take further proactive action.”
Anyone with information about anti-social behaviour is asked to contact police on 101, or submit information to us online via our reporting tool here: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/ro/report/asb/asb-v3/report-antisocial-behaviour/
If a crime is in progress, please dial 999.
 Tackling anti-social behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police. The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 aims to put victims first, giving power to local people and enabling professionals to find the best solutions for their local area. The act provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour. These include: civil injunctions. criminal behaviour orders. public spaces protection orders. community protection notices. dispersal powers. closure powers.
The act also includes measures such as the Community Remedy and anti-social behaviour case reviews which empower victims and communities to have a say in the outcome of their reports and hold agencies to account. If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.hampshire.police.uk, or call the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
