About us

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.

    Identify locations most affected by speeding and anti-social behaviour.

    Gather intelligence and encourage residents to report incidents and concerns.
    Work with partner agencies to address the underlying causes of anti-social behaviour.
