Operation Potassium: Taking No Prisoners
Under Operation Potassium, the police are using a mix of engagement and enforcement to tackle antisocial behaviour. Offenders face Section 35 dispersal notices to stop them from causing more chaos.

- Youths caught causing problems on trams have been handed over to Nottingham Express Transit (NET) for action.
- Police have returned some youngsters home to their parents after incidents.
- Serious offenders could face arrest and court action.
