Lancashire Constabulary has issued new safety updates for residents in Blackpool, Lancashire, as part of ongoing efforts to address local crime and improve community safety. The police are using these updates to keep the public informed about recent activity and to encourage more direct communication between officers and the community.

The latest information from the Neighbourhood Alert platform highlights the force’s commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour and drug-related issues, which remain key priorities for local teams. Officers are working to address these concerns, which have been frequently raised by people living in the area.

To help residents voice their concerns, Lancashire Constabulary has organised two community drop-in sessions. These meetings are set to take place on Friday 24 April and Saturday 25 April 2026, providing a local space for face-to-face talks with the policing team.

The police force is basing its current activity on feedback from recent Lancashire Talking surveys, which allow residents to highlight the specific problems they want the police to solve. These efforts aim to make the local police more accessible and ensure that safety information is shared quickly with the public.

Local teams are encouraging residents to stay involved with these schemes to help reduce crime and improve safety across the town. These sessions and digital alerts are part of a wider plan to build stronger links between the police and the Blackpool community.
