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.

    To address reports of this crime type across the Basildon district, our officers are targeting drug activity and groups linked to violence, using patrols and proactive work to disrupt offending.
    We are focusing on Basildon Town Centre, with additional presence around the night-time economy, with patrols in these busy areas, such as within the festival leisure park to prevent incidents and keep people safe.
    We are strengthening our response to domestic abuse, supporting victims, and improving how cases are investigated.
    We are committed to tackling harm and protecting our communities.
    This remains in our priority and is in progress.

    Officers and partners will be carrying out regular high-visibility patrols, using CCTV and shared information to spot patterns and respond quickly.

    We are working to reduce vehicle nuisance across the district.

    Issued 01 October 2026

    Action taken:

    We are taking steps across the Basildon district to tackle the unsafe and illegal use of e-scooters and off-road motorbikes.
    Residents have raised concerns about vehicles being ridden in pedestrian areas, and open spaces, putting people at risk.
    We are working with a focus to reducing this issue in Basildon Town Centre, Northlands Park, Kingswood Park, Gloucester Park, and Laindon Park in Basildon.
    Our Neighbourhood Policing Teams are carrying out regular patrols and acting where offences are identified.
    Where appropriate, vehicles are being seized using Section 59 and Section 165 powers and those involved are being dealt with.
    Our aim is to reduce risk, prevent harm and keep public spaces safe for everyone.
    This remains in our priority and is in progress.
