00:06tackling organised crime and serious violence crime. It's a key priority within the police and

00:12crime plan. We really understand the disruption that it causes in local communities, the drug

00:19dealing, the organised violence that kind of goes on behind that and we want to do everything we can

00:27to not only go out and take out the organised crime groups and the houses where people

00:35cause most of the problems from, but we have a strategy around clear hold build

00:40that means that working in partnership with housing and the local authorities we can then

00:48not only evict troublemakers and problem families and drug dealers from those properties but then

00:55we can remove them and restore the confidence from the public that actually when you report

01:02these issues to the police that action will be taken. It's really important,
