The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with a range of tools and powers to respond quickly and effectively to incidents of anti-social behaviour, including those that involve vehicles.

Last year we launched our Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan, backed by £160 million of funding, which includes increased hotspot patrolling in areas experiencing high levels of anti-social behaviour.

How the police enforce off-road biking is an operational matter for the local chief officer, in conjunction with the Police and Crime Commissioner, based on local pressures and priorities.
