Antisocial behaviour – Camborne & Redruth town centres
Drug-related crime
Provision for young people
Domestic abuse and sexual violence
Alcohol & drug-related harm reduction & recovery
Community engagement & resilience

New for 2024–2025

Camborne continues to benefit from the Hotspot Policing Scheme, part of a £1 million Home Office-funded initiative across Devon and Cornwall, bringing extra police and street marshal patrols to areas with high levels of ASB and serious violence.
Camborne Town Council and the OPCC have agreed to fund the dedicated ASB Caseworker through to April 2026, ensuring continued support for tackling persistent ASB.
Local businesses can now join the Camborne Business Intelligence Scheme (DISC)—a secure platform for reporting incidents, sharing intelligence, and receiving alerts. DISC helps businesses stay informed, connected, and better protected.
