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:

    We are working to reduce vehicle nuisance across the district.

    Issued 30 June 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 Cranfield Park and High Steet in Wickford. Northlands Park, Gloucester Park, Laindon Park and Basildon town centre in Basildon, plus Nevendon Park, Pitsea and Lake Meadows, Billericay.
    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.

    Actioned 30 June 2026

  • Priority:

    We are working to reduce anti-social behaviour and associated crime in Wickford, focusing on the High Street, Cranfield Park Road and the BP garage.

    Issued 30 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Following reports from residents of damage to cars and harm to wildlife linked to catapult use, we have been taking action, and this is something we intend to continue.
    In response, we have launched Op Mallard, using both high-visibility and plain-clothes patrols to identify and deal with those involved.
    Officers are targeting repeat offenders and working with local partners to address the wider issues affecting the area.
    We understand the impact this has had and are committed to tackling it.
    This remains in our priority and is in progress.
