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.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    We have received a number of reports regarding anti-social behaviour in the South Petherton area. Ensuring that public spaces remain safe and enjoyable for everyone in our community is extremely important to us.

    Following enquiries, we have identified concerns relating to individuals with complex health needs in specific locations within the village. Due to the frequency of incidents and the resources required to respond to them, these issues have had a wider impact on the community. We understand that these incidents have caused concern among local residents.

    We are working closely with partner agencies, including local authorities, mental health professionals, and community groups, to identify appropriate and sustainable solutions. Increased patrols are being carried out to provide reassurance to residents while this collaborative work continues.

    Actions

    Community Engagement

    • Engage with local residents to better understand concerns and gather information.
    • Work with partner agencies to support those involved and address the underlying causes of the reported behaviour.

    Regular Patrols

    • Maintain a visible presence within the community to deter anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to residents.
    • Conduct regular patrols in identified areas of concern.

    Ongoing Work


    We will continue to monitor reports, carry out regular patrols, and work alongside partner agencies to identify appropriate interventions. We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents so that concerns can be accurately assessed and addressed.

    There have been reports about youths causing anti-social behaviour, such as ridding electric E-scooters, and general nuisance noises.
