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:

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

    Issued 08 October 2026

    Action taken:

    Sedgefield NPT have a shopwatch scheme , allowing shop staff to share information quickly between each other, helping to detect shoplifters that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
    This month, the team have completed numerous hours of work to complete a case file, leading to a prolific shoplifter being charged for numerous large value thefts.

    We would also like to thank the members of the public who responded to our recent media appeal to identify another shoplifter. An ID statement has been taken, to go along with the other evidence for the next case file.

    Actioned 08 October 2026

  • Priority:

    Sedgefield has a massive Rural area and officers are continually working with the local farmers to prevent any issues that present themselves such as Poaching or plant theft.
    PC 9435 and PCSO 30141 are our rural SPOCs, responsible for information sharing both locally and cross-boarder, in an effort to tackle rural crime.

    Issued 08 October 2026

    Action taken:

    Officers are conducting more mobile patrols around the Rural area’s and utilizing our Farmwatch scheme to keep in touch with the local farmers, Rural operations are conducted by officers in peak times to prevent rural crime.

    Actioned 08 October 2026

  • Priority:

    Over the last few months, Sedgefield NPT have felt an increase in youth related anti-social behaviour.
    We work with our partners; including schools, youth clubs and the council, to work to address and prevent these issues going forward.

    Issued 08 October 2026

    Action taken:

    Over the summer, a handful of children identified as being involved in ASB in the community have been reported to the ASB team, utilising Durham County Councils escalation process. In some cases, youth behaviour has been dealt with by way of criminal investigations where applicable, resulting in children being formally interviewed and dealt with.
    We also regularly link in with our local schools, to put measures in place to keep the community safer.
