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

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    We are responding to community concerns linked to a range of anti-social behaviour linked to youth groups across a number of locations across the ward.

    Issued 30 September 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue to work closely with a range of partner organisations to address issues affecting the city centre and ensure it remains a safe, welcoming and vibrant environment for residents, businesses and visitors. Through a combination of enforcement, prevention and partnership working, we are committed to tackling crime and anti-social behaviour while improving the overall experience of those who live, work and spend time within the area.

    Neighbourhood officers maintain a regular presence across the city centre, engaging with businesses, residents and community representatives to better understand local concerns and identify emerging issues. This engagement remains vital in helping us shape our policing response, direct resources effectively and develop long-term solutions to the issues that matter most to local communities.

    Over recent months, officers have continued to undertake a range of proactive operations utilising both high-visibility and plain-clothed patrols to deter offending, identify those involved in criminality and provide reassurance to the public. As part of this activity, Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices have been issued to individuals whose behaviour has had a detrimental impact on the local area, ensuring proportionate action is taken to address persistent anti-social behaviour.

    Enhanced neighbourhood policing activity has also continued throughout the city centre, with patrols focused on locations identified through community feedback, intelligence and reported incidents. This targeted approach enables officers to prevent crime, address anti-social behaviour at the earliest opportunity and maintain a visible presence in key areas.

    Merseyside Police has continued to work closely with Liverpool City Council in support of the ongoing review of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) operating within Liverpool City Centre. As part of this process, the force has provided operational feedback, enforcement data and analytical support to assist the local authority in evaluating the effectiveness of the order.

    Analysis undertaken as part of the review has shown encouraging results. Between April 2026 and August 2026, overall recorded crime within Liverpool City Centre reduced by 5.3%, whilst youth-related crime and anti-social behaviour reduced by 20%. These reductions provide a strong indication that the combined efforts of Merseyside Police, Liverpool City Council and partner organisations, supported by the enforcement of the PSPO, have contributed towards making the city centre a safer place for residents, businesses and visitors to enjoy.

    The PSPO continues to provide officers and Police Community Support Officers with an important tool to address persistent anti-social behaviour and intervene where individuals are negatively impacting the local community. Where appropriate, officers have taken action through engagement, education and enforcement, including reporting breaches to Liverpool City Council for further consideration.

    As we approach the Halloween period and the darker nights of autumn and winter, we would encourage parents, guardians and carers to take an active role in ensuring young people remain safe and responsible when visiting the city centre. Knowing where children are, who they are with and when they are expected home can play an important part in preventing anti-social behaviour, reducing vulnerability and supporting the safety of both young people and the wider community. We would ask all families to work with us and our partners to help ensure everyone can enjoy the city centre safely and responsibly during this period.

    Alongside enforcement activity, we remain committed to working collaboratively with partners to address the underlying causes of offending and anti-social behaviour. This includes supporting vulnerable individuals, engaging with local businesses and community groups, and ensuring that those requiring support are signposted to the most appropriate services.

    Information received from residents, businesses and visitors remains crucial in helping us identify issues, develop intelligence and take action against those responsible for crime and anti-social behaviour. We would encourage anyone who witnesses offending or activity causing concern to continue reporting it, as community information plays a key role in shaping local policing priorities and supporting effective partnership responses.

    Incidents can be reported by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be submitted online via the Merseyside Police website or in person at the General Enquiry Offices located at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.
