Local police were praised for work but councillors were warned that officer numbers will drop.
The Falkirk area will bear its share of Police Scotland cuts, a senior officer has warned, saying the force could lose as many as 2000 staff nationally over the next three to four years.
He told councillors that they do not release the numbers involved in individual areas for operational reasons. However, nationally the police are looking at measures including a freeze on recruitment and organisational restructuring. "If that were to continue over the next three to four years there's a potential you'd be looking at a 2000 headcount reduction."
Chief Inspector Kidd highlighted the work officers have done to tackle issues such as under-age drinking and anti-social behaviour across the district and particularly in Falkirk town centre. "It's something we are looking to adopt in other parts of Falkirk which also have anti-social behaviour issues," she said.
