Thanks to initiatives by Sutton police officers supported by partners including Sutton Council and Businesses in the high street. Local people have been telling police about their concerns on disorder and anti-social behaviour. Action taken by police and others has led to crime falling in these and other categories in the town.

Police actions which have proved successful include: 
- Closer ties with the retailers so that they can report all crime however minor it may be.

- Ensuring a quick response to incident calls.

- Dealing with incidents in a robust and effective manner with the overwhelming majority resulting in arrests.

But has it really made a big difference?
