<p>The investigation of anti-social behaviour in Lancashire is a matter for the Chief
Constable of Lancashire Constabulary and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire.</p><p>Last
year the Government launched the Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-action-plan"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-action-plan</a>)
ensuring the police, local authorities and other relevant agencies have the tools
they need to tackle anti-social behaviour.</p><p>The Plan is backed by £160m of funding.
This includes funding an increased police and other uniformed presence to clamp down
on anti-social behaviour, targeting hotspots. Initially we worked with 10 police force
areas, including Lancashire Constabulary which received £1,050,000. From April this
has been extended to every police force in England and Wales and Lancashire will receive
£ 1,713,512 for the hotspot programme tackling areas of high incidents of both ASB
and serious violence.</p>
