Coventry Community Safety Partnership

Active Intelligence Mapping - or AIMs - brings together agencies like the Police, Neighbourhood Management, Fire Service, Neighbourhood Wardens, Traffic Wardens, Youth Services, CVOne, the Environmental Crime Unit and others to co-ordinate activity in current crime and anti social behaviour hotspots.

AIMs works on a fortnightly cycle, using two weeks of information on reported crime and incidents to identify where the biggest problems are concentrated. AIMs primary looks to tackle things like:

• burglary
• vehicle crime
• violent crime (including robbery)
• envirocrimes
• arson
• anti social behaviour and criminal damage

A range of activities are deployed into these hotspots - depending ont he nature of the problem - including:

• extra patrols from police, neighbourhood wardens, traffic wardens and other street-based uniformed staff to help provide a visible presence and gather local information
• portable and temporary surveillance equipment to help capture evidence against offenders
• additional youth workers to provide young people with positive, diversionary activities
• publicity, leaflets and other resources to give information to residents
