About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Working with Community Speedwatch and our colleagues in Speed Enforcement we are working to reduce the number of speeding vehicles in the outlying villages.

    If you feel your village would benefit from a Community SpeedWatch, you can apply through the Community SpeedWatch page on our website.

    We are currently visiting repeat offenders to remind them that speed limits are in place for a reason and will be enforced.
