We are responding to community concerns linked to a range of anti-social behaviour linked to youth groups along with associated violence.

Keeping Liverpool City Centre safe remains a key priority. Throughout October, officers have continued to work closely with Liverpool City Council, businesses and partner agencies to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and the issues that most affect residents, workers and visitors.
Neighbourhood officers have maintained regular high-visibility and plain-clothes patrols across the city centre, focusing on locations identified through community feedback, intelligence and reported incidents. This targeted activity helps prevent crime, deter anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to the public.
Where individuals have persistently engaged in behaviour that negatively impacts the local community, officers have taken positive action using a range of enforcement powers, including Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices. We have also continued to work with Liverpool City Council to support the ongoing use of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to address anti-social behaviour and protect public spaces.
Alongside enforcement, we continue to work with partner organisations, local businesses and community groups to address the underlying causes of offending, support vulnerable individuals and deliver longer-term solutions to community concerns.
Information from residents, businesses and visitors remains vital in helping us identify offenders, develop intelligence and target resources where they are needed most. We encourage anyone who witnesses crime, anti-social behaviour or suspicious activity to report it so that appropriate action can be taken.
Incidents can be reported via 101, 999 in an emergency, online through the Merseyside Police website, or at the General Enquiry Offices at Admiral Street and St Anne Street Police Stations.
