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.

    Keeping Wyre’s Roads Safe

    Making our roads safer for everyone is a key focus for the Wyre Neighbourhood Policing Team. We’re working hard to tackle behaviours that put lives at risk, and your support plays a big part in that.
    Speeding

    If speeding is an issue where you live, you can report it online through the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership. When concerns are raised, we may carry out Community Road Watch sessions or run targeted speed enforcement in problem areas.
    School Drop-Off and Pick-Up

    We understand how worrying unsafe driving and parking outside schools can be for parents and local residents. Our officers regularly visit schools to promote safe behaviour, share advice through schools and social media, and work closely with Wyre Borough Council’s Parking Enforcement team to deal with persistent problems.
    Anti-Social Driving & Drink/Drug Driving

    Dangerous or irresponsible driving has no place on our roads. We continue to carry out focused patrols and enforcement operations to keep our communities protected.
    How You Can Help

    If you see dangerous driving or parking, please report it via the Lancashire Police website or speak directly with your local neighbourhood officers.

    Together, we can help make Wyre’s roads safer for everyone.

    Parking Issues

    Issued 01 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Parking in Wyre – What You Need to Know

    Parking problems are one of the issues we hear about most often from residents across Wyre. We understand the frustration they cause. Inconsiderate or unsafe parking can block access for emergency services, create hazards for pedestrians, and put children at particular risk.

    What are we doing to tackle it?

    • We regularly visit schools and busy areas to address unsafe parking.
    • We work closely with Wyre Borough Council’s Parking Enforcement team to deal with persistent issues.
    • We share safety messages through schools, social media, and community engagement to help educate drivers.
    • We carry out targeted operations in areas where parking problems are repeatedly reported.
    •
    How you can help

    You can report ongoing, unsafe, or dangerous parking using the following:
    • Online: Single Online Home at https://www.lancashire.police.uk
    • By phone: Call 101 for non-emergencies
    • In an emergency: Dial 999 if a vehicle is causing immediate danger
    •
    When reporting, please include as much detail as possible—location, time, vehicle description, and registration number all help us take effective action. You can also speak to your local neighbourhood officers if the issue is ongoing.
    Parking might seem like a small matter, but it has a big impact on safety and community wellbeing. By working together, we can help keep Wyre’s roads and neighbourhoods safe.

    Let’s encourage responsible parking—for everyone’s benefit.

    Dog Fowling

    Issued 01 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Dog Fouling – Time to Take Action

    Dog fouling continues to be one of the most frequent concerns raised by residents, and it’s easy to see why. It’s unpleasant, unhygienic, and creates a poor environment for everyone using our parks, pavements, and public spaces. No one should have to navigate their way around dog mess in our communities.

    Wyre Borough Council is the authority responsible for dealing with dog fouling on public land, and they have a number of measures in place to manage and reduce the problem. This includes:

    • Investigating reports of dog fouling.
    • Issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to those who fail to clean up after their dog.
    • Patrolling problem areas to deter offending.
    • Putting up signage and providing waste bins.
    • Running education campaigns to promote responsible dog ownership.
    •
    However, enforcement alone isn’t enough — public information is vital. If you witness someone not cleaning up after their dog, please report it. The more detail you can provide, the more effectively the Council can take action. Useful information includes:

    • Time, date, and exact location of the incident.
    • A description of the person and the dog.
    • Vehicle details, including registration, if relevant.
    Reports can be made directly to Wyre Borough Council using the link below:
    https://orlo.uk/mmE52

    In some cases, enforcement may go as far as court proceedings, and having witnesses willing to support the process makes a real difference.

    By reporting incidents and encouraging responsible behaviour, we can help keep Wyre’s parks, pathways, and public spaces clean, safe, and pleasant for everyone.

    Let’s work together to maintain a cleaner and more welcoming environment for our community.
