The Workington Neighbourhood policing team over the last year have secured a number of criminal behaviour orders to disrupt criminal behaviour in Workington and the surrounding areas.
Criminal Behaviours Orders (CBOs) are issued in conjunction with a sentence and are prohibitions to stop criminal and anti-social behaviour. The order will either prohibit the offender from doing anything, or require them to do anything, as described in the order.
Problem Solving PC Law, from Workington Neighbourhood Policing Team said “Criminal Behaviour Orders are a useful tool to place restrictions on individuals to prevent further criminality.
“We work with our partners to provide evidence to the courts to grant the orders which help protect business owners and local residents from individuals persistent criminal behaviours.”
