Fortunately, this is not in a text I have to translate - I'm asking just out of curiosity! How would you translate "streetscene services" into Spanish (for Spain, for LatAm, for the international community, your choice...) in this context:
John Skidmore, head of **streetscene services** for East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "These patrols are not aimed directly at young people as young and old alike discard litter, however experience has taught us that young people litter some of the most affected areas during lunchtimes."

Creo que el nombre va a variar bastante de un lugar a otro, pero esta es una posibilidad... por lo menos, se usa así en varias ciudades de esta zona.

"Orden público" es el departamento de la policía que se ocupa de vagos, prostitutas, etc, pero no se puede decir que "liaise"... lo que hacen es detenerlos o ignorarlos.
En cuanto a las personas que no recogen lo que dejan sus perros, cruzan donde no se debe, se instalan a vivir debajo de los puentes: más bien nos quejamos de que no se les aplique ninguna ley o reglamento... que existen, pero -- acá al menos-- me parece que no hay quien los haga cumplir.
Pero se llamaría "vigilancia"
The answers suggest that the equivalent in France is "brigade des incivilités", the functions can be described thus:
[streetscene service employees] liaise with residents, drug abusers, dog-walkers, skate-boarders and the general public in order to reduce conflicts and tensions in public places. These employees patrol the streets on the lookout for uncivil behaviour of all kinds - such as dropping litter, mentioned in the BBC News story - and may be authorised to issue fines.
Consequently, 'higiene/limpieza urbana' (commonly called 'cleansing department') is not appropriate, although the streetscene service might be administered by the cleansing department...
Maybe this extra context will trigger some other ideas for the Spanish translation?
