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.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Fishburn has a large area of rural ground and farmland often home high value agricultural machinery and vehicles as well as the land yielding valuable crops. Officers are working with local farmers as well as landowners in completing extra patrols including throughout the night, to tackle rural crime under Operation Rurali. Stamping out rural crime and cross border criminality is high on our priorities. Our rural SPOC PCSO 30141 is on the Farmwatch group and keeping in touch with local farmers.

    Issued 20 May 2026

    Action taken:

    Officers have completed extra high visibility patrols across the area. Officers have also been completing operations in the area to deter Rural crime. If you're a local farmer and want to get involved contact Sophie to find out more.

    Sedgefield Neighborhood Policing Team have completed an operation in December to combat rural crime. PCSO 30141 has attended a rural watch meeting.

    Actioned 20 May 2026

  • Priority:

    Contrary to popular belief we do respond to Shoplifting under £200, We are committed to tackling theft in the Fishburn area, CO-OP and other local businesses to bring anyone that does shoplift to justice.

    Issued 20 May 2026

    Action taken:

    Officers are conducting more high visibility patrols. The neighborhood team are carrying several shoplifting cases and awaiting results at Court.

    Sedgefield Neighborhood Policing Team have completed an operation in December to target shoplifting and more high visibility patrols have been completed.

    Officers are currently dealing with shoplifting cases from Fishburn and there is now a Shopwatch for Fishburn.

    Actioned 20 May 2026

  • Priority:

    As Neighborhood Officers, a vital part of our role is being approachable and offering reassurance to the public, especially young people (who can sometimes be weary of our uniform). It is essential that children feel confident to speak to police, so that they know who to go for help if needed.

    Issued 17 July 2026

    Action taken:

    NPT officers will frequently visit schools, but with the summer holidays now here, we think its vital for young people to see us out and about too!
    We make a conscious effort to break down barriers and encourage positive relationships with police. Whether that be a private tour of the police van, a practice on our radio or a football match in the park; these activities teach children not to be scared of the uniform, as well as providing opportunities for valuable conversations, such as: what to do if they are lost, or how to call 999.
