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:

    July - September 2026:

    Knife Crime in Nottingham City Centre.

    The priorities for the City Centre Neighbourhood team is reviewed every 3 months in a Multi-Agency meeting attended by the Principle City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, Senior Community Protection officers, Licensing Team officers and police representatives from Integrated Offender Management, Problem Solving officers and Neighbourhoods.

    The meeting looks at the data from crime recording and intelligence systems held by the police, as well as data from the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office and responses to the ‘What Matters’ survey submitted to the police via the Notts Alert system, in order to determine which matters are important to our communities.

    The priorities selected do not detract from other priorities either locally or across the force.

    Knife Crime in the City Centre has been chosen as a priority for this period due to a small number of knife related offences in the City Centre which have caused a reduction in feelings of safety and an increase in fear of crime.

    We employ a multi-agency approach to tackle knife crime, working with public, private, and third sectors.

    Communications and engagement activities support evidence-based approaches to reduce knife crime incidents and we focus on highlighting the dangers of carrying knives, enhancing public confidence, and reassuring the community. Improved training and education initiatives are in place, alongside disruption tactics such as Stop and Search.

    Continued funding from the Home Office Grip and Violence Reduction Programme (VRP) ensures the capability and capacity to drive performance and reduce public risk through our officers carrying out high visibility patrols in key hotspot areas at key times to detect and deter knife related offending.

    Nottinghamshire Police’s clear plan around tackling knife crime has been recognised nationally for best practice. Furthermore, it strongly focuses on the PCC’s ‘Safer Nottinghamshire for All’ undertaking, whilst putting communities and victims first, which strengthens partnership working and implements effective and resilient policing.

    The increase in knife possession offences is attributed to proactive policing, with data showing that proactive local policing and collaboration with third-sector partners have led to more arrests and the removal of weapons from the streets. This proactive stance is crucial in deterring potential offenders and ensuring community safety. The use of intelligence-led policing and targeted operations has been instrumental in achieving these results.

    Changes to the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 are expected to impact offence numbers. These changes include the prohibition of zombie knives, zombie-style weapons, and ninja swords. The introduction of these legislative measures aims to reduce the availability of dangerous weapons and enhance public safety. The anticipated increase in recorded offences following these changes is a temporary effect of the initial enforcement phase.

    Between January 2023 and 2024 serious violence including wounding/ endangering life has dropped by 13.5%, assault with injury by 7.8%, homicide by 80%, and robbery by 14.1%. The profile remains a constant picture as there are strong links with organised crime groups (OCGs), urban street gangs (USGs), drugs, knife-enabled robbery, and knife crime.

    Analysis shows links between unemployment, deprivation, and violent crime (which may worsen because of the cost-of-living crisis) and an increase in the number of young people who have been involved in knife related incidents. However, the data suggests that Nottinghamshire is trending in a positive direction. It should be noted that whilst many local authorities and partners are facing financial challenges, the serious violence duty as well as the violence reduction partnership are key enablers to ensure strong partnership working in this area.

    PLEASE NOTE: This priority continues from the previous quarter and ask such, the June update is also shown in the actions section.

    Action taken:

    JUNE UPDATE:

    In May, we launched Op Reclaim for Nottingham City Centre. This is a Clear, Hold, Build initiative looking to target the areas of concern for those living, working in and visiting the City Centre. One of the areas of focus under this operation, is knife crime.

    Currently, our positive detection rate for weapons possession in a rolling 12 month period within the City Centre is 61.7% (versus 55% in a rolling 12 month period at this point last year). On the whole, possession of weapon offences within the City Centre are slightly down (-1.36%).
    In the City Centre, possession of weapons offences are down 8% in rolling 12-month period.

    Possession of weapons positive outcome rate for Op Reclaim period is 62.45% (versus 56.35% for the same time period the previous year). There has also been a 2% reduction in public order offences, with public disorder showing a 25.5% positive detection rate (versus 23.5% the previous year).

    This month, two teenagers were arrested after police found rucksacks containing weapons and drugs in Nottingham city centre. Both suspects were detained and searched, while two rucksacks were recovered from the area. One was on a small wall where the males had been sat and the other was under the bush as had been described.

    Within the rucksack hidden under the bush was a large quantity of suspected wraps of class A drugs, a large rock of white powder, three knives, scales and a suspected burner phone. A small quantity of cannabis was found in the other rucksack.

    Both teenagers – aged 16 and 19 – were subsequently arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs and possession of a bladed article in public place. They were taken into custody for questioning and later bailed with strict conditions pending further investigation work.

    Police were patrolling Lower Parliament Street on Sunday 22 June, when they noticed some suspicious behaviour and discovered three lock knives, just before 8am.

    Jack Ralph Heenan, aged 21, of no fixed address but originally from the Mansfield area, was arrested and charged for possession of a bladed article in a public place.

    July - September 2026 Priority:

    Retail Theft in the City Centre

    The priorities for the City Centre Neighbourhood team is reviewed every 3 months in a Multi-Agency meeting attended by the Principle City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, Senior Community Protection officers, Licensing Team officers and police representatives from Integrated Offender Management, Problem Solving officers and Neighbourhoods.

    The meeting looks at the data from crime recording and intelligence systems held by the police, as well as data from the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office and responses to the ‘What Matters’ survey submitted to the police via the Notts Alert system, in order to determine which matters are important to our communities.

    The priorities selected do not detract from other priorities either locally or across the force.

    Retail theft has been chosen as one of the local policing priorities for the City Centre due to this being the highest crime type for the City. There are also links from prolific offender shop lifters with general anti-social behaviour, drug use and dealing etc.

    As well as retail theft / shoplifting, we are seeing an increase in business robbery recording (due to a change in crime recording standards) whereby business staff are being threatened or assaulted by offenders. This is unacceptable. Nottinghamshire Police support the #ShopKind initiative from the National Business Crime Centre. It is backed by the Home Office and supported by major high street retailers as well as the nation’s independent shopkeepers, and the shopworkers union Usdaw.

    The aim of the campaign is to encourage positive behaviours in shops, acknowledge the important role of shopworkers and raise awareness about the scale and impact of violence and abuse against shopworkers.

    Our officers will look to deal robustly with any offenders who have committed business robberies or assaulted shopworkers.

    PLEASE NOTE: This priority continues from the previous quarter and ask such, the June update is also shown in the actions section.

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    In relation to retail crime we continue systematically targeting those repeat offenders who cause the most harm, ensuring they are quickly brought to justice and seeking additional orders (such as Criminal Behaviour Orders) to reduce the risk of their offending.

    We also liaise with partner agencies and businesses to look at all available options to deal with offenders and assist with target hardening and problem solving.

    We want to emphasis collaboration with retailers and encourage businesses to report shoplifting incidents through streamlined mechanisms (such as via SingleOnlineHome and being able to send CCTV over an online link etc.) which also assists is with a better understanding of crime trends to be able to adequately target repeat offenders, prolific offenders, hotspot locations etc.

    We also work with the MLB officers from ItsInNottingham and are able to share two way information with them regarding offending.

    JUNE UPDATE:

    In May, we launched Op Reclaim for Nottingham City Centre. This is a Clear, Hold, Build initiative looking to target the areas of concern for those living, working in and visiting the City Centre. One of the areas of focus under this operation, is retail crime.

    We are working with partners in the BID (ItsInNottigham), My Local Bobby, Nottingham City Council and other partners from support services and third sectors to look to further tackle the issues and root causes of offending as well as looking at target hardening and the onwards sale of stolen goods.

    We have a dedicated retail crime officer and have secured funding to look to employ two further civilian investigators to support our work regarding retail crime.

    We have a cohort of prolific offenders within the City Centre who are pursued robustly and Criminal Behaviour Orders sought with both positive (i.e. engagement with drug services) and enforcement (i.e. banning from the City Centre as a whole or certain areas) conditions.

    Since Op Reclaim began, we have seen a slight decrease in retail offending within the City Centre. Officers are also targeting the onward sale of stolen items within the City via Op Motivation.

    Officers hold Retail Crime Engagement Meetings every six weeks. The positive outcomes in the City Centre for Op Reclaim period thus far is 33.6% (up from 25.9% for the same period last year) and the positive detection rate for the City Neighbourhood Policing Teams overall is 50.1%.

    This month, Neighbourhood Policing teams were joined by the priority tasking team for a day of action, which resulted in eight people being arrested for offences on Friday 12 June.
    This included a 60-year-old woman being remanded into custody on suspicion of five thefts from shops including stealing handbags from the Victoria Centre worth more than £130.

    A 35-year-old man was also remanded into custody after he was spotted in the city centre on suspicion of stealing quantities of protein bars from Tesco in Long Row.

    A 41-year-old was then remanded into custody on suspicion of three shop thefts after he failed to attend court and a 67-year-old man was then arrested and charged for stealing various items from the Victoria Centre.

    Officers were also informed that a female victim had her handbag stolen near to Station Street.

    A 34-year-old man had taken the car keys and was later arrested and charged for not only the handbag theft but also taking her vehicle.

    Officers also managed to lock up two offenders for breaching their licence conditions after being released from custody.

    In addition, a prolific shop thief has been locked up after continuing to ignore a court order intended to prevent him from causing further harm.

    Connor Barrowcliffe was banned from entering retail premises in Nottingham city centre, including Victoria Centre – under the terms of a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) he was issued with in September 2024.

    The 29-year-old was jailed in February this year after committing further thefts and admitting three breaches of the CBO.

    We have currently obtained 14 Criminal Behaviour Orders for prolific offenders within the City Centre.

  • Priority:

    July - September 2026:

    Drug Dealing in the City Centre.

    The priorities for the City Centre Neighbourhood team is reviewed every 3 months in a Multi-Agency meeting attended by the Principle City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, Senior Community Protection officers, Licensing Team officers and police representatives from Integrated Offender Management, Problem Solving officers and Neighbourhoods.

    The meeting looks at the data from crime recording and intelligence systems held by the police, as well as data from the Nottinghamshire Police Crime Commissioners Office and responses to the ‘What Matters’ survey submitted to the police via the Notts Alert system, in order to determine which matters are important to our communities.

    The priorities selected do not detract from other priorities either locally or across the force.

    Drug dealing has been chosen as a priority due to its links to knife crime (another of our priorities) as well as links to other offending in the City Centre (violence, shop theft to fund drug use, homelessness, ASB etc.) and based on ongoing efforts to improve persons feelings of safety when living and working in as well as visiting the City Centre.

    Please Note: This priority roles over from last quarter and as such the June 2026 update is shown in the actions section.

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    JUNE UPDATE:

    In May, we launched Op Reclaim for Nottingham City Centre. This is a Clear, Hold, Build initiative looking to target the areas of concern for those living, working in and visiting the City Centre. One of the areas of focus under this operation, is drug dealing and urban street gangs.

    We now have a dedicated intelligence officer in place to assist with the mapping of urban street gangs operating within the City Centre. This will allow more joined up working between the police and partner agencies, better intelligence sharing and proactive disruption of those involved in these criminal enterprises (as well as safeguarding where required).

    A CCTV camera has been installed in a hotspot area of the city centre to target those taking and dealing drugs.

    Concerns have been flagged by members of the public and residents over the use of drugs in St Peter's Walk, which is at the back of the churchyard.

    This has included discarded drug paraphernalia, drug exchanges, and large groups of drug users intimidating members of the public. High-visibility police patrols and the council's community protection officers are making regular visits to the area including offering support to those in need.

    Ronnie Alan Hodge, aged 45, of River View, Nottingham, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class A and Class B drug.

    Officers also searched a 29-year-old man on Saturday 20 June just before midnight and found that he was in possession of cocaine. He was arrested for possession of a Class A drug.

    On the same evening, in Collin Street, a 15-year-old boy was also stopped and searched where officers uncovered some cannabis. He was arrested for possession of a Class B drug.

    A 19-year-old man was also arrested on Burton Street for being drunk and disorderly and also found to be smoking cannabis. He was further arrested for possession of a Class B drug.

    Two men, aged 49 and 55, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A and Class B drug.
    There has been an 11% reduction in drug offences in City Centre in 12-month rolling period with 75.1% positive outcome rate.

    Furthermore, officers have been deployed to Op Wrangel patrols (the use of illegal e-bikes and e-scooters in the City Centre). Thus far, 68 bikes and e-scooters have been seized as illegal, with a top speed recorded as 72MPH. 116 e-bike assessments have been carried out.
