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.

The whole of the 'Crumbles' car park is now monitored by private Automatic Number Plate Reading ( ANPR ) cameras which will stop the noisy vehicles congregating when the shops are shut.

    •Officers continue working alongside youth officers, partners and youth organisations, including schools and colleges to identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB in the area.
