Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is a group of local police officers and staff dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of police officers and a dedicated Police Community Support Officer (PCSO). These are supported by additional officers and staff from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for your area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on the basics: to fight, prevent and reduce crime, whilst keeping people safe and caring for victims.
If you want to receive regular updates about what we're doing in your area, want to contact us easily with your feedback, or receive alerts about incidents, you can sign up to our community alerts system. You'll receive emails or text messages about the issues you tell us you want to know about.

Traffic Issues on BWFC Matchdays
Action taken:
The team have received an increased number of complaints from residents regards traffic / parking issues on the residential estates around the Tough sheet Stadium on BWFC matchdays. Officers will pro-actively patrol these areas and take enforcement action as required where offences are committed. 9 Traffic Offence Reports (TOR’s) were issued in the recent home fixture for BWFC against Leyton Orient. Supporters attending BWFC fixtures are reminded to park in a considerate manner and be mindful of residents in the areas. The Police will continue to work with BWFC and the residents association around this issue .
