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:

    During the last period in the Ware area, you asked us to focus on:

    • East Herts Rural: Officers will continue to crack down on anti-social behaviour in Buntingford town centre and tackle fly-tipping across the area.

    • Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth: Residents have said they want a focus on improving feelings of safety in Pishiobury Park, as well as Grange Paddocks and Sawbridgeworth Fields.

    • Ware and Stanstead Abbotts: The community has asked local officers to focus on reducing anti-social behaviour in The Priory and surrounding industrial areas, as well as tackling the anti-social use of e-bikes along the towpath between Ware and Stanstead Abbotts.

    • Hertford: Officers will focus on tackling anti-social behaviour in Birchley Green and the anti-social use of e-bikes in Hartham.

    Issued 01 August 2026

    Action taken:

    In the last period of priorities, officers:

    • Have conducted proactive patrols in Ware, Stanstead Abbotts and along the towpath, in both plain clothes and in uniform. They have conducted a number of stop searches.

    • Have been trained to use SelectaDNA spray which is going to form part of our effort to tackle antisocial behaviour associated with e-bikes and e-scooters.

    Recently, there has been a reduction in reports of e-bikes being ridden antisocially, which is positive. However, further operations are planned to take place in the near future, to ensure that this trait continues to reduce.

    Actioned 01 August 2026

  • Priority:

    We’re currently consulting the public on the issues they would like to see their local policing teams focusing on as a priority.
