A DISPERSAL Order to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in Corby town centre has been hailed a success by officers on the Northern Police Area.
The Dispersal Order came into force November 1st 2004. A total of 25 people have been dispersed from the town centre and 192 people were banned from the area for 24 hours.
Of those 192, six people were arrested for breaching the Order. The number of violent offences recorded in the town centre area fell from 64 to 39 compared with the previous 3 months and criminal damage fell from 29 to 13 for the same period.
Community Action Sergeant Tim Britton, who is based at Corby Police Station, said: “The Dispersal Order has proved a success with both crime and anti-social behaviour decreasing over the three-month period.
The Dispersal Order officially ended on February 1.
Officers carried out high-visibility patrols of the town centre area along with Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) to enforce the order and reassure the public.

The first Dispersal Order on the central policing sector has been signed, authorising a clampdown on anti-social behaviour in and around the Colwyn Road and Shakespeare Road area of the Mounts.
Cllr Liz Tavener, cabinet member responsible for community safety, said, "It is disappointing that we have to use another Youth Dispersal Order. The powers are effective in tackling the problem in the short term to improve the quality of residents' lives. However the council and its partners have a duty to find longer term solutions."
