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:

    Using a combination of your feedback and our own data, we have set the below as the top three things your local neighbourhood policing teams across East Cambridgeshire will prioritise for the next three months:
    - Anti-social behaviour in Ely
    - Tackling violent crime in Ely
    - Parking offences in Soham

    Issued 16 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Anti-social behaviour in Ely

    Tackling anti-social behaviour remains a priority for the neighbourhood team, with 37 incidents reported in Ely since 15 April, nine of which were youth-related. Officers have carried out joint patrols with East Cambridgeshire District Council's Anti-Social Behaviour Officer and Community Safety Co-ordinator in identified hotspot areas, engaging with young people, addressing concerns and discussing activities they would like to see available locally.
    The team continues to work closely with partner agencies to address persistent issues, including supporting a vulnerable resident in Ely who has been subjected to repeated harassment. This has involved joint working with East Cambridgeshire District Council, Environmental Health, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, housing officers and landlords to safeguard the victim and tackle the behaviour of those responsible.
    In addition, three of the most prolific perpetrators of anti-social behaviour in Ely are currently being supported and supervised by the Youth Justice Diversion Team, helping to address the root causes of their behaviour and reduce reoffending.

    Tackling violent crime in Ely

    Since 15 April, 30 violent crimes have been reported across East Cambridgeshire, including five within Ely city. All cases have resulted in positive outcomes, with suspects receiving community resolutions, conditional cautions or being charged and put before the courts.
    Officers have increased patrols during key periods and in areas where incidents are more likely to occur, providing a visible presence and reassurance to the public. Additional attention has been given to locations identified through reports and intelligence, including an address in Ely where a vulnerable resident has been repeatedly targeted.
    The neighbourhood team has also strengthened its partnership with Ely City Council by meeting with CCTV operators to explore how footage can be used more effectively to identify offenders and support investigations. This collaborative approach has already delivered positive results in progressing enquiries into both crime and anti-social behaviour.

    Parking offences in Soham

    Concerns about parking remain a key issue for residents in Soham. Over the reporting period, officers and PCSOs have continued to carry out patrols and enforcement activity, focusing on areas where concerns are most frequently raised.
    A total of 43 parking offence reports were dealt with, including:
    •29 on High Street
    •8 on Brook Dam Lane
    •5 on Churchgate Street
    •1 on Red Lion Square
    The team will continue to patrol problem locations, engage with motorists and take appropriate action where vehicles are parked illegally or dangerously.
