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.

    Shoplifting and Retail Crime is a problem in the City Centre

    Issued 01 May 2026

    Action taken:

    We held a force wide week of action against shoplifting called Operation Watchmaker between 16th March and 22nd March. During this week, officers targeted retail crime in the City Centre while engaging with retailers, security staff, business partners, and members of the public. High visibility patrols were also conducted throughout the City Centre to support this. Across the force, 32 arrests were made, 49 charges brought, and 17 Community Resolutions issued. In Chester, we secured a number of arrests and charges including that of a prolific offender who was arrested and charged for two breaches of Community Protection Notice and for whom a Criminal Behaviour Order is now being sought. 

    Further to this, in order to tackle crime in the City Centre, we recently made use of Live Facial Recognition technology. This technology adheres to strict privacy, data protection and humans rights safeguards, and only individuals from a pre-approved watchlist and used by the system. This technology supports the police in identifying offenders who are wanted, helping improve our efficiency in targeting and investigating crime.
