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.

    ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR - In the St Helens Ward is increasing
    Anti-social behaviour, drug abuse and associated crime in the St Helens area of Barnsley.

    YOU TOLD US
    This is an area of Barnsley that was once a quieter and safer space for the residents. You told us it is currently rife with anti-social behaviour, egg throwing, nuisance scooters and bikes and other vehicles and households and shops have been affected.

    WE LISTENED
    Residents are dealing constant disturbances, property damage and the loss of peace and safety they once had which is frustrating those that live and work in the area. Community PACT meetings captured these concerns.

    Issued 12 October 2026

    Action taken:

    WE TAKE ACTION
    A significant number of warrants have been executed in the area to disrupt drug activities. Vehicles seized and an increase in stop and searches all ‘tailored and targeted’ to have impact in this area. Working in partnership with BMBC and others, key problematic addresses have been given significant focus and legislation is being used to curtail drug activities in these areas. This is sustained focus and we value the support of the community with these issues. Housing have also enforced several evictions and closure orders on properties that are continued problematic addresses.

    REPORTING
    Reports can be made by 999 for emergencies. 101 for non-emergencies. Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 to make a report or visit the SYP online portal to submit a non-emergency report online on the SYP Web page.
