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:

  • Priority:

    Nuisance motorcycles and off-road bikes.

    Issued 05 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Working with partners such as housing, we are collating details of bikes and descriptions of offenders. Through the use of CCTV, drones and fixed wing aircraft in conjunction with our road crime officers to track and locate offending bikes and offenders, a number of vehicle seizures and prosecutions have been made. We are continuing to use anti-social behaviour legislation to seize and destroy bikes as well as issuing Community Protection Warnings/Notices to tackle repeat offenders. This work is ongoing.

    Monitoring and patrols continue throughout the summer in areas where this activity is known.

    Actioned 05 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Theft of mopeds and motorbikes parked outside or left insecure. Offenders are travelling around the city, crossing force areas to commit thefts and using balaclava's and cloned places to try and prevent identification.

    Issued 05 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Due to the frequency and location of thefts across Newcastle and Stoke-on-Trent, dedicated officers are collating, managing and processing the intelligence and incidents as they are reported and coordinating proactive activity to prevent further offending and locate offenders. Analytics, CCTV, forensics and intelligence are being used to link and trace stolen/recovered bikes to offenders with a view to arrest and prosecute.
