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:

    This is a continued priority...Anti-social behaviour related to drug use and homelessness. These issues have had a visible and distressing impact on residents, businesses, and visitors—ranging from the presence of rough sleeper encampments and drug paraphernalia to individuals visibly under the influence in public spaces.

    Issued 02 September 2025

    Action taken:

    To address this, we have developed and implemented a dedicated disruption plan led by the neighbourhood policing team. This includes enhanced high-visibility patrols and close partnership working with the local authority, the Rough Sleeper Outreach Team, CDAS (Community Drug and Alcohol Services), and the management team at Adullam Life House. Recent activity has seen the successful clearance of multiple encampments, the issuing of a Section 34 Dispersal Order to combat anti-social behaviour, and ongoing intelligence gathering around drug supply networks in the area. We recognise that many of the individuals involved are vulnerable, and we are committed to taking a balanced approach—combining proportionate enforcement with access to support services aimed at long-term rehabilitation and stability. This enhanced focus will continue over the coming months, and we are already receiving positive feedback from the community as a result of our recent actions.

  • Priority:

    Problem Solving Policing to tackle ASB

    Issued 02 September 2025

    Action taken:

    Problem Solving Policing has also seen an increase in high visibility patrols to assist in tackling ASB, and I know the local community have enjoyed seeing officers out on the street, taking the opportunity to engage and talk through local concerns.
