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.

    Reduce Antisocial Behaviour

    Antisocial behaviour (ASB) is defined as 'behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person'. There are three main categories of ASB which depends on how many people are affected; personal ASB, nuisance ASB, and environmental ASB. This can include littering, noise, inconsiderate behaviour, nuisance calls, antisocial driving, abandoned vehicles, begging, and street drinking.

    To reduce and target ASB in the community the East Devon Neighbourhood team work with partner agencies such as East Devon Council, local schools, local shops, pubs, and Highways.

    Anti-Social Driving & Vehicle Offences The Seaton Neighbourhood Team and Devon and Cornwall Police are working to reduce the number of casualties and road traffic collisions in our area, through proactive work and positive action. Vehicle crime includes theft from motor vehicles, vehicles being driven without insurance and/or a valid driving licence, vehicle theft, unroadworthy vehicles, and drink and drug driving. Antisocial driving such as speeding, revving, loud music and large car meets also meets this criteria.

    Issued 02 September 2026

    Action taken:

    During September, officers have continued to bring stakeholders together to look at road safety issues and identify what more can be done to tackle anti-social driving. The Seaton Neighbourhood Team are aware that this is a significant issue within the community and are working with partners to minimise the impact as much as possible.

    Officers have placed the new speeding device at regular ASB hotspots to help identify and confirm where the problem areas are. Mobile ASB patrols have also been completed.

    Officers have continued to carry out targeted patrols in areas identified by the community as experiencing anti-social behaviour. These patrols provide an opportunity to engage with residents, gather information and identify any emerging issues. Information gathered will help shape future patrols and ensure resources are directed towards areas where they are most needed.

    Officers will continue to work with partners and carry out targeted patrols and engagement to address anti-social behaviour and road safety issues within the local community.

    Rural Crime & Engagement Rural crime is an issue for large areas of the country, but it tends to go unreported. It can impact on insurance premiums, food prices, the environment, and can damage local communities. The Seaton Neighbourhood Team are conducting a visible presence in the rural community to offer reassurance and crime prevention. The aim is to improve connectivity with the rural communities and provide education to users of our beautiful countryside. This includes attending rural events to gain knowledge about the issues effecting the rural communities and to offer the crime prevention advice. Included within this we will be targeting Road Safety throughout our rural areas in attempt to reduce collisions.

    Issued 02 September 2026

    Action taken:

    Throughout September, we have continued to engage with our rural communities through regular patrols and community engagement. We are keen to attend local events and activities across our rural parishes, giving residents the opportunity to speak directly with us, raise any concerns and discuss issues affecting their communities.

    We will continue to work with local residents and partners to understand the issues affecting rural areas and provide reassurance, crime prevention advice and a visible policing presence. If you are organising a community event and would like the Seaton Neighbourhood Team to attend, please get in touch with us through Community Messaging and we will do our best to attend.
