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:

    Retail Crime - Shoplifting

    Issued 12 May 2026

    Action taken:

    PCSO Bicknell has continued to conduct high visibility patrols around the shops to deter shoplifting. This will continue and will be working alongside the local Steyning Neighbourhood Wardens to offer reassurance to the stores.

    PCSO Bicknell has been working with both Nisa and Co Op and patrols have increased in and around the stores.

    Additionally, PCSO Bicknell has liaised with the Business Crime Team, collecting CCTV evidence and working closely with the Steyning Wardens.

    We have been working with stores by increasing patrols in and around the shops. We have worked with the Business Crime team with helping collect CCTV for evidence, along with conducting further joint patrols with the Steyning Wardens to increase visibility and give reassurance to the stores.

    Actioned 12 May 2026

  • Priority:

    E-Scooters

    Issued 12 May 2026

    Action taken:

    PCSO Bicknell has visited known users of E-Scooters to give words of advice and the use and legality of them.

    Working with the Steyning Wardens, reports will continue to be raised should this issue continue.

    Vulnerable road users, including pedal cyclists, are at heightened risk of serious injury or fatality in road collisions.

    With cycling promoted as a sustainable mode of transport, Sussex Police prioritises both the safety of cyclists and the enforcement of responsible cycling behaviour.

    It is not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters. This means it’s illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping centres.

    If you use a privately-owned e-scooter in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 Road Traffic Act 1988 for having no insurance.

    If you cause serious harm to another person whilst riding an e-scooter, the incident will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car.

    More information can be found here https://www.sussex.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-safety/advice-escooters/

    We have visited several of the named users of the scooters to give strong words of advice and explained the legality of using them. We continue to work with the Steyning Wardens who have reported further use of scooters. This is ongoing joint working with wardens and encouraging the public to report.

    Actioned 12 May 2026
