There is a dedicated town centre team who are regularly in Littlehampton town centre and deal with numerous offences, such as street drinking and consumption of illegal substances.

While we endeavour to deal with issues, it is very important that if members of the public witness such behaviour that they report it to Sussex Police at the time either on 101 or email [email protected] or 999 if there is a crime taking place and it is an emergency.
