On Monday the 24th of April a new Neighbourhood Policing Operation will begin in Falmouth named Loki, the operation has already been launched in other towns like Truro, Torquay, Exeter, Barnstaple, and Plymouth.

Devon and Cornwall Police say the operation will run for four weeks in each area and showcase a range of policing tactics, from 'pop up' police stations, high-visibility patrols, traffic operations, surveys, test purchases of age-restricted products, and community engagement by the diverse communities team, police support volunteers, Volunteer Police Cadets, and chaplaincy.

Falmouth Police say they will be targeting crime trends, antisocial behaviour, and violence. Before the operation begins they have asked residents to take a survey on police presence in town.

More about Operation Loki:

Deputy Chief Constable Jim Colwell said: "The issues in the Safer Streets areas are as unique as the communities that live there. Each local policing area has tailored its activities to target specific local issues, including violence against women and girls, the evening and night-time economy, and anti-social behaviour.

"We know that these concerns are felt in neighbourhoods across Devon and Cornwall, not just in the Safer Streets areas. The lessons we learn from this operation will help us develop plans to tackle these issues across the Force."

Alison Hernandez, Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, said: "Op Loki shows that the force is prepared to invest considerable resources in tackling the police and crime plan priorities of reducing violence, drug use, and antisocial behaviour.

"This shows commitment to working with partners including my office who have been successful in securing millions of pounds worth of additional money from the Home Office's Safer Streets funding stream for communities around Devon and Cornwall."
