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:

    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.

    Issued 01 May 2026

    Action taken:

    Officers will step up visible patrols in The Priory and surrounding industrial areas to reduce anti-social behaviour and will work to prevent and respond to the anti-social use of e-bikes along the towpath between Ware and Stanstead Abbotts.

    Actioned 01 May 2026

  • Priority:

    During the last period in the Ware area, the priority was to help reduce anti-social behaviour and anti-social driving in Stanstead Abbotts High Street, and in Lady Margaret Gardens, Fanhams Hall Road and King George Park in Ware.

    Issued 01 May 2026

    Action taken:

    In the last period of priorities, officers:

    • Conducted several operations in Stanstead Abbotts under Operation Tonnage, during which vehicles over 7.5 tonnes are stopped, spoken to, and advised regarding the weight restriction. Repeat offenders have been identified during these operations and as a result have been issued tickets. Ongoing monitoring and enforcement will continue, to ensure that the issue continues to stop.
    • Local Neighbourhood Policing Team has been actively patrolling priority areas including King George Park, Lady Margaret Gardens, and Fanham’s Hall Road, responding to community concerns around anti-social behaviour.
    • Officers and PCSOs have carried out frequent high visibility patrols across the area. No recent issues have been identified during multiple checks of King George Park and Lady Margaret Gardens.
    • Officers have coordinated with the Future Hope Bus team (Youth Development workers). Their team will support youth engagement work to help reduce anti-social behaviour in the priority location.
    • Local officers are and will continue to respond to reports of anti-social behaviour involving local youths, ensuring victim safeguarding and ongoing monitoring of hotspot areas, on top of daily business.
