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.

Action taken:

Off road bikes and ASB – ASB is being tackled with the extra patrols by officers and PCSO’s to show a presence in the area. Several electric off road motorbikes have been seized recently with assistance of our own motorbike section. We continue to organise planned OP Endurance days in which we designate resources to tackling the issue along side our road traffic and bike section officers.
School parking issues – In Framwellgate Moor we have a large number of all different types of schools which at picking up and dropping off times has caused issues in the local area. Extra patrol at key times by officers and PCSO’s to speak and engage with all parties to move them on and prevent any more parking issues.
Speeding – Regular speed watch checks carried out in key areas where speeding is an issue. We are guided by our local knowledge but also by members of the public who report speeding to us as an issue and hold speedwatch campaigns in that area. Speedwatch's have been completed on Abbey Road recently, during the first speedwatch 118 vehicles passed us with 3 speeding. During the second Speedwatch 212 vehicles passed us with 7 speeding. All drivers driving above the speed limit with be dealt with appropriately.

Multi agency patrols have been conducted alongside Durham County Council and Fire Service. 6 youths were identified as being involved in recent arson incidents. 1 youth has been referred to youth offending whilst the others will be carrying out a restorative project alongside Police and Countryside Rangers.

Further updates to be given at the next PACT meeting
