Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Nicki Bignell hopes to implement a 'Designated Public Places Order' to cut the amount of drinking on the streets.
The orders, which make it an arrestable offence to drink alcohol after being asked by a police officer not to do so, have already been put into effect in Fleetwood, Cleveleys and Poulton, following a decision by Wyre Council in May.
Sgt Bignell said: "We have been looking, in partnership with local councillors and licencees, at getting an order for Garstang. The orders are designed to restrict the consumption of alcohol on the streets and in public places where there is a history of nuisance and disorder assisted by the consumption of alcohol.
"The order will give police the right to stop people who are carrying alcohol and take it from them. They don't need to be causing any trouble - we will take any open containers."
A specific area for the order has already been identified, stretching from Wyre Lane in the north to Bridge Street and Church Street in the south, and including Victoria Terrace, Park Hill Road and part of Lancaster Road.
In particular, officers are hoping to target young people aged 18 and over, who congregate with younger teenagers on the streets and buy them alcohol.
Currently, police are able to confiscate alcohol from youngsters, but they have little power to prevent the older ones from drinking.
Sgt Bignell continued: "More and more people above the age of 18 are drinking on the streets. The drinking culture has changed within youths - whether it's because of the image of pubs or the gang culture which is becoming prevalent among young people.
"People aged 18-21 are still hanging around with 16 year olds, and it's hard to prove that they are giving under 18s alcohol, but this order will give us the power to take alcohol from them."
Sgt Bignell added that littering has become a serious problem in Garstang, especially the glasses, bottles and cans that people leave behind after a night out drinking, and it is hoped that the order will have an impact on this as well.
She said: "Sometimes there are 20 pint glasses stacked up on the windowsill outside Threshers. There are empty alcohol cans and bottles left on the Millennium Green, right up to Wyre Lane.
"Community members have said to me that if people walked down the High Street at 5 in the morning, before the sweepers come, they would see what a mess it can be."
Sgt Bignell is working closely with Wyre councillor May Ghandi and Wyre Deputy Mayor Tom Balmain, as well as members of Garstang's Pubwatch scheme, to get proceedings under way, although she says it could be months before the order is put into place.
If Wyre Council agrees to implement an order, they will need to advertise the proposals for a 28 day period, when representations from the public can be put forward.
In the meantime, Sgt Bignell is urging members of the Garstang community to contact her with their opinions on the order.
