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.

  • Priority:

    Nuisance motorbikes.

    Issued 22 April 2026

    Action taken:

    PC Gardham has carried out regular high-visibility patrols across the Barton ward, with a particular focus on Baldock Road, Querns Road and Buffs Road. Although no off-road bikes were encountered during these patrols, reports from local residents show that the issue remains a concern within the community. Off-road bikes can cause nuisance, noise and safety concerns when ridden illegally in public spaces or on roads where they are not permitted. Due to the number of reports being received, tackling this issue remains a priority. PC Gardham will continue to carry out proactive patrols in these key locations to deter offending, identify those responsible and help keep the area safe for residents.

    Actioned 30 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Drug dealing.

    Issued 22 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Police received reports from residents about suspected drug dealing in parts of the Barton ward, particularly around Pretoria Road and College Road. In response to these concerns, PC Gardham and other neighbourhood officers carried out a plain clothes operation in the area during the times the activity was reported to be taking place. During the operation, officers stopped and searched a man who matched the description provided by members of the community. Cannabis was found and seized, and appropriate action was taken. Since then, no further reports have been received in relation to this individual. The information provided by local residents played an important role in helping officers target their patrols and address concerns within the community.

    Actioned 30 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Dog fouling.

    Issued 22 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Reports of dog fouling within the ward have been recognised and addressed through partnership working with the local council. Responsibility for enforcing offences related to dog fouling sits with the council, so residents raising concerns have been directed to the appropriate reporting channels and advice services. Dog fouling can have a negative impact on public spaces and the local environment, and reporting incidents helps the council take action where necessary. By ensuring concerns are handled by the correct authority, local agencies can work together to help keep the area clean, safe and welcoming for residents and visitors.
