Residents said they are pleased to see Newark Police introduce a new rapid response vehicle, specifically to help tackle antisocial behaviour across the Newark and Sherwood district. The new vehicle is a double crewed police car, which will allow officers to respond to instances of anti-social behaviour quicker, as well as attending more incidents.
The response vehicle will be driven by dedicated officers, who's sole focus is to tackle anti-social behaviour as part of Operation Renegade. This new car will also become a regular sight for local residents, as it is expected to help increase police presence in the area.
During each day of the summer holidays the new vehicle will be on patrol to help put a stop to and prevent anti-social behaviour, such as vandalism, off-road biking and other unpleasant behaviour. This new squad car is part of the extra provisions introduced by the force to tackle anti-social behaviour, but visible patrols are also being increased and more plain clothes officers will also be out in Newark town centre.
