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:

    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 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue to work closely with partner organisations to address ongoing issues in the area.
    Neighbourhood officers regularly patrol the area and engage with businesses, residents, and community representatives. These conversations help us understand local concerns, respond effectively to issues, and gather valuable information to support our work.
    We have carried out a number of proactive operations, using both plain-clothed officers and high-visibility patrols to target criminality and anti-social behaviour. Several Community Protection Notices and Community Protection Orders have also been issued to individuals whose behaviour was having a negative impact on the community.
    Throughout the summer holidays, we have implemented a dedicated policing and disruption plan to tackle seasonal increases in anti-social behaviour. This has included enhanced foot patrols, increased officer visibility, and greater engagement with businesses, residents, and visitors across the city centre.
    We have worked closely with Liverpool City Council to support the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), providing evidence to assist the application process. The PSPO is now in place and is being actively enforced by police officers and PCSOs. Since its introduction, officers have taken robust action against those who fail to comply, including directing individuals away from the area and reporting breaches to the council for further enforcement action.
    A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is a legal measure used to address persistent anti-social behaviour within designated public areas, helping to ensure these spaces remain safe, welcoming, and accessible for everyone.
    As the summer holiday period continues, we remain committed to working alongside Liverpool City Council to promote awareness of the PSPO and provide reassurance to residents, businesses, and visitors.
    Following incidents involving youth violence three Section 60 stop and search power have been authorised in July. Additional officers from the Matrix Team were deployed to provide extra support and reassurance. Section 60 allows officers to stop and search people without specific suspicion when serious violence is expected. A total of 84 people were searched under these authorities and eight arrests made for a variety of offences.
    Neighbourhood officers are carrying out targeted patrols at key locations and during peak times when incidents are more likely to occur. Officers will continue to maintain a visible presence and respond proactively to concerns raised by the community.
    Working in partnership with Liverpool City Council, we have also arranged for improvements to lighting and CCTV to be made around the area and side streets of Hanover Street, Ranelagh Street and Bold Street; increasing feelings of community safety.
    We encourage anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour to report it. Incidents can be reported by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be submitted online, or in person at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.

    Actioned 31 July 2026

  • Priority:

    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 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue to work closely with our partners to address concerns in the area and ensure a coordinated response to the issues affecting the local community.
    Neighbourhood officers are regularly out on patrol, engaging with residents, businesses, and community representatives. These conversations help us build a clear picture of local concerns, identify emerging issues, and develop effective solutions alongside our partners.
    We are also working closely with licensed premises and the wider night-time economy to gather intelligence and evidence that supports targeted enforcement activity. This partnership approach helps us identify those responsible for criminal and anti-social behaviour and take appropriate action. Officers regularly attend Pubwatch meetings, held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool City Centre, to maintain strong links with local businesses and share information.
    A number of proactive operations have been carried out across the area, involving both plain-clothed officers and high-visibility patrols. These operations have resulted in the use of Community Protection Notices and Community Protection Orders against individuals whose behaviour has had a negative impact on the community.
    Working alongside Liverpool City Council, we have also provided evidence to support the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). The PSPO is now in place and is being actively enforced by police officers and PCSOs to help tackle anti-social behaviour and improve the environment for those who live, work, and visit the area.
    Our partnership with the council remains a key part of this work, and we will continue to take robust action against breaches of the PSPO throughout the summer, helping to keep the area safe and welcoming for everyone.
    Neighbourhood officers will maintain a visible presence, carrying out targeted patrols during the times and in the locations where issues are most likely to occur. We will continue to respond proactively to community concerns and use the powers available to us to address anti-social behaviour and criminality.
    We encourage anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour to report it. You can contact us on 101, report online, or call 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be made in person at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.
