Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many community protection notices relating to dog behaviour have been issued under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 since it came into force.
Answered by

This question was answered on 9th November 2016
The Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced new and more flexible powers to make it quicker and easier for police forces and local authorities to protect victims and communities from anti-social and nuisance behaviour.
This includes the Community Protection Notice. The Home Office does not collect or hold information on the use of these powers by local agencies.
