Your local team
As your local neighbourhood police team, we work together with the community, local authority, and other partners to help keep you safe.
Our team is made up of police officers and dedicated Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). This includes a sergeant, dedicated local named officers, and Local Action Team officers. We are also supported by police teams, including response and investigation units, as well as other specialist colleagues, to help solve the crimes and problems that really matter to you.
Through our understanding of the calls we receive and our local community meetings, we agree with partners, community leaders, and residents on the key priorities for us to focus on in your area. Working in partnership, we aim to find long-term solutions to local problems while maintaining a wider focus on preventing crime and making communities safer.

Priority:
Visibility and community engagement from the Local Policing Neighbourhood team...
Our communities have asked for a much higher rate of Police and PCSO's out on their beats.
We will address this with targeted patrols, community events and engagements and general patrols.
Action taken:
As with the other 2 priorities, the anti-social use of off road and electric motorbikes, bleeds across into all your issues.
Officers will be actively targeting anti social use of Surron electric motorbikes and taking eScooters off the users to be crushed.
Now that Summer demand is over, you will se an increase in visibility in your area.
We are dedicated to tackling social isolation in the elderly and are working very closely with the local authority and residents associations to bring more of us together for community events.
This is a constant area of concern that we have fed back to us at all community events and most engagements we have with the general public.
We understand this is very important to increase personal safety and raise the publics confidence in us as a Policing team.Keep an eye out for us and come and say hello whenever you see us..

We have recently discussed the Policing priorities for our 3 beats and whilst they are similar to the last, we will be adding begging and homelessness to our targets.
Officers will be actively targeting anti social use of Surron electric motorbikes and taking eScooters off the users to be crushed.
We are seizing on average 1 eScooter per day, which are still being regularly used, despite an area wide leaflet drop by your MP advising on the legalities of such electric modes of transport.Staff are trained in issuing community protection notices to persistent offenders as well as taking positive action in the form of arrests when needed.
These are being used and repeat offenders are now being arrested and face charges. -
