My budget will pay for more officers to join the ranks of Op Centurion, the county-wide crack down on Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB).

Since the launch of Op Centurion in July 2023 officers have:

  • spent an additional 14,000 hours walking the beat
  • attended more than 1,300 incidents of ASB
  • carried out 3,300 stop checks and 600 stop searches

My budget will also continue to support Op Warrior, disrupting and dismantling organised crime to bring more offenders in Lancashire to justice, as well as stripping them of their cash, cars and other assets.

Since its launch in November 2022, Op Warrior has resulted in:

  • 1,409 arrests of organised crime gang suspects
  • 318kg of class A and B drugs taken off our streets
  • £1.3m cash seized from criminals
  • Seizure of 18,249 cannabis plants
