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.

Priority:
Retail crime rises the cost for everyone. Prolific shoplifters are often stealing hundreds of pounds worth of stock each day which is then being sold in the community to purchase drugs. Shoplifting is directly linked to organised crime and is just fuelling this in the community.

Your local neighbourhood team work closely with retailers to tackle these issues directly. Officers and retail staff are working together to ensure all crimes are reported and any known offenders are named. Offenders who are identified are arrested and put through the criminal justice system.

Drug dealing – Links to males on off road bikes such as Surrons, wearing balaclavas transporting and dealing drugs in the community. These offenders are linked to other crimes such as robbery.

Your local neighbourhood team are working to tackle drug dealing through high visibility and undercover patrols. Intelligence from the community help officers to conduct warrants where there is believed to be drug related activity and arrest those responsible.
