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:

    Anti-social use of vehicles (predominantly unregistered off-road bikes) is a major concern for the community. Frequently uninsured and unroadworthy, the illegal use of such vehicles creates a risk of harm to the public and to the rider.

    Issued 09 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Supported by Housing Agencies and Landlords, Community Protection Warning Notices are in the process of being issued to addresses where unregistered off-road motorbikes are known to be operated from.Officers from Consett and Stanley Neighbourhood Teams, Durham Constabulary Special Constables and Durham County Council Neighbourhood Wardens conducted a large operation in September targeting the illegal use of motorbikes, electric bikes and E-Scooters across the Consett and Stanley area. The operation included targeted patrols and enforcement work focusing on removing uninsured and illegal bikes from our roads, reducing the risks they pose to our community.

    Actioned 09 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Rural Crime - Acquisitive Crime and Poaching/Livestock Worrying. Rural Crime has a massive impact on our rural communities, both financially and emotionally with persons living often in very isolated areas. Rural crime is also linked to larger Organised Crime where travelling criminals will target plant machinery and quad bikes.

    Issued 09 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We work closely with our rural communities to tackle Rural Crime. We have a dedicated Rural and Wildlife officer PCSO Hart who works closely with our Rural Communities to combat Rural Crime. We use a variety of powers including Community Protection Notices, Poaching Warning Letters and prosecuting criminals in addition to providing support around crime prevention. In the last 3 months we have issued a number of poaching warning letters in relation to reports of poaching. Members of the Neighbourhood Team have attended a meeting with the PCC around the Rural Crime Strategy to which representatives of our rural communities were in attendance. An officer within the Neighbourhood Team has also been recently trained as a Drone Pilot and a new Drone for the Consett area. This is a tool that has been used effectively in the identification and apprehension of offenders, particularly in rural areas.
