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:

    Nuisance Motorbikes have been highlighted by local residents as an issue in the Honicknowle area.

    Issued 01 November 2026

    Action taken:

    The Honicknowle Team will seize and remove any nuisance bikes whether these are motorbikes, Electric bikes or e-scooters off our pavements and roads when they can, if it is an e-bike or scooter as it is not possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters/bikes. If it is a Motorcycle, then it may be possible to seize it under other Police Powers.

    Please understand that we will endeavour to deal with this issue, but we are limited on dealing with some of the bike riders when it comes to a chase due to hazard and public safety.

    If you use a privately-owned e-scooter/bike in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, for not having any insurance.

    The Honicknowle Team have also recovered several stolen motor bikes and e-bikes, over the last few months. With your help in reporting these incidents we can continue to remover these bikes from Honicknowle, thereby reducing crime and enhancing safety for everyone.

    Update 01/10/26

    Nuisance Motorbikes and E-Bikes Update - Honicknowle

    We continue to receive reports from residents regarding the anti-social use of motorbikes and e-bikes in the Honicknowle area. These incidents often involve bikes being ridden at excessive speeds, on footpaths, through parks and green spaces, and in a manner that causes distress to local people.

    Neighbourhood officers are carrying out targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations and are working with partner agencies to gather information and identify those responsible. Where offences are detected, appropriate enforcement action will be taken, including the seizure of vehicles being used illegally or anti-socially.

    We appreciate the impact this behaviour has on our communities and would like to reassure residents that reports are being taken seriously. Information provided by the public plays a vital role in helping us build intelligence and direct our patrols effectively.

    If you witness nuisance riding, please report it via our online reporting system or by calling 101. If the incident is happening at the time and there is an immediate risk to public safety, please call 999.

    When reporting, please provide as much information as possible, including:

    Date, time and location.

    Description of the rider(s).

    Description of the bike, including colour and any distinguishing features.

    Photos or video footage where it is safe and lawful to obtain them.

    Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep Honicknowle a safe place to live and work.

  • Priority:

    Rise in shoplifting in local shops

    Issued 01 November 2026

    Action taken:

    We are taking firm action to reduce shoplifting and anti-social behaviour especially around Tesco Transit Way shopping area and the surrounding shops. Not only does shoplifting cause financial loss to local businesses but also creates stress for staff and customers, impacting the sense of safety in our community.

    To tackle this, our officers are:
    Using Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBO’s) to deal with persistent offenders. These are court orders that can ban individuals from certain areas or behaviours, helping to prevent further offences.

    The Honicknowle Police team work closely with local businesses and are visible each shift in the area. The team aim to share information when appropriate and coordinate responses focusing on key locations where offences are most common. This targeted, partnership-led approach is already making a difference – helping to deter crime and improve safety for everyone.

    The local Policing team are increasing patrols with the PARC officers in the vicinity and in discussions with the landlord of the site regarding target hardening.

    01/10/26 Neighbourhood Priority Update – Anti-Social Behaviour, Tesco Transit Way

    The Local Policing Team continues to address reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB) in and around the Tesco Transit Way area. Officers have been carrying out regular patrols, engaging with local businesses and members of the community, and gathering information to identify those responsible for ongoing issues.

    As part of a long-term problem-solving approach, the Local Policing Team is now working closely with an architect to explore opportunities for target hardening within the location. This work will focus on designing out opportunities for anti-social behaviour through environmental improvements, increasing natural surveillance, and making the area less attractive for those engaging in nuisance and disorder.

    Partnership working remains a key element of this neighbourhood priority, and the team will continue to work with Tesco, local stakeholders, and residents to improve safety and reduce ASB. We encourage the community to continue reporting incidents so that we can build an accurate picture of concerns and direct resources effectively.

    The Local Policing Team remains committed to making Tesco Transit Way a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone.
