We are putting a dispersal order in place in the Earlsdon area of Coventry today.
From 1pm till 11pm, the order will cover parts of the area including the roads around the War Memorial Park.
These powers allow officers to direct individuals to leave the area to prevent or reduce anti-social behaviour, harassment or disorder, as well as robbery.
People who are told to leave and then return can be arrested.
The dispersal order has been put in place in response to police intelligence around potential violence or disorder in this location.
You will see an enhanced police presence in this area during this period to prevent offences and maintain community safety.
