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:

    ASB with particular focus on those seeking and using sex workers in public places.
    You Said: We’ve received a number of reports about some specific areas that have been used for sex work.

    Issued 01 October 2026

    Action taken:

    What We Are Going To Do: Typically this is a sensitive area of policing where we see high levels of vulnerabilities with those involved. That being said we cannot accept the families and residents that make up our communities being exposed to this behaviour. Therefore we are going to target those who are using sex workers in public places through specific intelligence led operations with a view to deterring these activities taking place.

    Actioned 01 October 2026

  • Priority:

    Drug dealing and use particularly around residential properties being used to facilitate this.
    You Said: You are concerned and frustrated by individuals involved in drug use and dealing in public spaces across our beat.

    Issued 01 October 2026

    Action taken:

    What We Are Going To Do: We have a number of days of action planned where you will see officers out in force, targeting those involved in drug-related offences. Our focus will be on enforcement, disruption, and working with partners to tackle the root causes and reduce harm in the community.

    Actioned 01 October 2026

  • Priority:

    Priority: Preventing Theft From Motor Vehicles
    You Said: Traditionally, when the nights start to get longer we see an increase in theft from motor vehicle and the associated concern that comes with it.

    Issued 01 October 2026

    Action taken:

    What We Are Going To Do: We have a set plan to remove the easy wins for criminals by pushing awareness to every resident of what makes it easy from valuables in cars to unlocked cars and leaving keys near your letterbox. Lets stay a step ahead.
