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:

    RETAIL CRIME - SHOPLIFTING

    Issued 01 January 2026

    Action taken:

    Working with retailers and the public, as well as using target hardening to prevent shoplifting, but where it does occur, using streamlined processes and new technology to detect and prosecute offenders. In particular, we will target prolific shoplifters, bringing them to justice and utilising the full range of sanctions at our disposal to prevent recidivism.

    Actioned 01 September 2026

  • Priority:

    ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR (ASB)

    Issued 01 January 2026

    Action taken:

    Using regular patrols, beat surgeries and local meetings to identify areas where ASB occurs and taking a holistic approach, including preventative measures, as well as the full range of sanctions available under ASB legislation, to deal with it, where it does happen.

    Actioned 01 September 2026

  • Priority:

    DRUGS SUPPLY

    Issued 01 January 2026

    Action taken:

    Illicit drug supply networks often involve the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society and increases wider crime and violence, which devastates our communities. We will work with the community and partner agencies, to continue identifying those at risk of exploitation and ensure they receive the best support possible, whilst relentlessly pursuing and arresting those criminals at all levels, from the local dealer, to those who control and hold drug lines, and organised crime groups.

    Actioned 01 September 2026
