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:

    We are responding to community concerns linked to a range of anti-social behaviour linked to youth groups and members of the street community across the ward. The main number of reports over the last month have been around the areas of Ropewalks and Hanover Street.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We are responding to community concerns linked to a range of anti-social behaviour linked to youth groups and members of the street community across the ward. The main number of reports over the last month linked to youth groups have been Chavasse Park and Liverpool Waterfront and for street community issues Church Street and Derby Square.

    We continue to work closely with our partners as part of a coordinated multi-agency approach to addressing ongoing concerns within the area. This includes regular collaboration with Liverpool City Council, housing providers, community organisations and colleagues from neighbouring policing areas to ensure a joined-up response to emerging issues and anti-social behaviour affecting the wider city centre.

    Neighbourhood officers have been actively engaging with residents, business owners and community representatives while on patrol to better understand local concerns, address issues affecting the community and gather valuable information and intelligence.

    Several proactive operations have been carried out, with officers deployed in both plain clothes and high-visibility patrols across key locations. A number of Community Protection Notices (CPNs) and Community Protection Warning Notices have also been issued to individuals whose behaviour has had a detrimental impact on the local community.

    In preparation for the May Half Term holidays, when we have historically experienced an increase in anti-social behaviour and youth-related disorder, a dedicated disruption plan was implemented. This included enhanced foot patrols, increased high-visibility policing, targeted enforcement activity and proactive engagement with businesses, visitors and young people spending time within the city centre.

    As part of our ongoing work, officers are also investigating concerns surrounding a licensed premises which hosted an under-18s event during the May Half Term that resulted in a significant increase in anti-social behaviour and disorder on the border of Liverpool City Centre. We are working closely with Liverpool City Council's Licensing, Public Protection and Children's Safeguarding teams to review the circumstances surrounding the event and identify any further actions that may be available. Follow-up meetings are being coordinated with partners and the premises operators as part of this process to ensure lessons are learned and appropriate measures are considered to prevent similar issues occurring in the future.

    We have provided extensive evidence to Liverpool City Council in support of the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). The PSPO has now been approved by the Council and is being actively enforced by police officers and PCSOs across the neighbourhood.
    Since its introduction, officers have taken robust enforcement action where prohibitions have been breached.

    Numerous individuals have been formally dealt with, dispersed from the area and reported to Liverpool City Council as part of joint enforcement arrangements.
    Public Spaces Protection Orders are legal measures introduced under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. They are designed to address persistent anti-social behaviour within defined public areas and ensure that those spaces can be used and enjoyed safely by residents, businesses and visitors without harassment, alarm or disruption.

    We continue to work closely with Liverpool City Council to highlight the importance of the PSPO, particularly throughout the summer months, when increased visitor numbers can place additional demands on the city centre. The order provides officers and partner agencies with further powers to address anti-social behaviour and improve public confidence.

    Neighbourhood officers continue to patrol the area during peak demand periods, maintaining a visible presence and responding proactively to incidents as they arise. Joint working with partner agencies remains central to our approach.

    In addition, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, together with the North West Underwater Search and Marine Unit, have conducted visible patrols across the waterfront and dock areas. These patrols have provided additional reassurance to residents and visitors, with further activity planned throughout the summer period.

    Members of the public are encouraged to report all incidents of anti-social behaviour and crime by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be submitted online or in person at the General Enquiry Office at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.

    We are responding to community concerns linked to drug activity in several areas of the ward, particularly around the area of Ropewalks during the Night Time Economy and weekend periods.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue to work closely with a range of partner agencies as part of a coordinated multi-agency approach to tackling issues affecting the area and improving community safety.

    Neighbourhood officers regularly engage with residents, businesses and community representatives while on patrol to better understand local concerns, gather intelligence and identify opportunities for positive intervention. Information provided by the community remains vital in helping us build an accurate picture of issues affecting the area and target our activity effectively.

    We are also working closely with licensed premises, late-night venues and the wider hospitality sector to gather evidence, develop intelligence and support a targeted policing response. This partnership approach helps us identify offenders, tackle anti-social behaviour and take appropriate enforcement action where necessary. Officers continue to strengthen these relationships through ongoing engagement with businesses and regular attendance at Hospitality (Pubwatch) meetings, which are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool City Centre.

    Several proactive operations have been conducted across the area, involving both plain-clothed officers and high-visibility patrols. As part of this activity, several Community Protection Notices (CPNs) and Community Protection Warnings have been issued to individuals whose behaviour has had a negative impact on local residents, visitors and businesses.

    Working alongside Liverpool City Council, we have also supported the implementation of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) by providing evidence of persistent anti-social behaviour within the area. The PSPO is now in force and is being actively enforced by neighbourhood officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).

    We remain committed to working in partnership with Liverpool City Council to ensure the continued and effective use of the PSPO, particularly throughout the busy summer months, providing additional reassurance and support to residents, businesses and visitors alike.

    Local neighbourhood officers continue to patrol the area during peak demand periods when incidents are more likely to occur. Officers will maintain a highly visible presence, proactively engage with the community and take robust action where offences are identified.

    We encourage members of the public to report incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour. Reports can be made by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Incidents can also be reported online or in person at the General Enquiry Office at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.
