Reporting antisocial behaviour

Described by law as conduct which has caused or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to any person. Antisocial behaviour includes rowdy, threatening or intimidating behaviour, graffiti, vandalism and begging to environmental crimes such as littering, fly tipping and dog fouling.

If you are affected by antisocial behaviour it is important that this is reported, so the relevant organisation including the Police, housing provider or the council is aware.

If you are experiencing antisocial behaviour report it online via the Hampshire Police website

Or call:

• 101 - In non-emergency situations
• 999 - In emergency situations such as when a crime is in progress or there is an immediate risk to life.

If you would like to discuss any antisocial behaviour concerns with us, get in touch:

Community Trigger (ASB Case review)

If you (or others with your consent) have reported 3 or more incidents of antisocial behaviour within a 6-month period and feel the issues haven’t been resolved, you can activate the Community Trigger (also known as ASB Case Review). This aims to give you, the victim, the right to demand that agencies deal with persistent antisocial behaviour.

Hampshire Constabulary are the first point of call for initial contact from a victim or representative wanting to use the community trigger. Raising a community trigger can be done by calling 101. We will assess the eligibility of any community trigger requests.

Community Safety Partnership

Partnerships see the Police, Local Authorities, Voluntary Sector, local residents and businesses working together to create safer communities, reduce crime and the fear of crime in an area.

We work with Rushmoor Borough Council and Hart District Council as part of the Safer North Hampshire Community Safety partnership. Our Cabinet Member for Communities, Partnerships and Inclusion Cllr John Mckay represents us.

Strategic Assessments are created annually as part of the CSP, informed by our Community Safety Team who analyse crime and antisocial behaviour trends for our area.

The assessments allow the CSPs to respond more effectively to the community, allocate resources and inform the annual Partnership Plan. The plan details how partners will work to deliver activities and focus on priorities throughout the year to achieve results.
