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

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    ASB at Templars Square and Upper Bar, Cowley

    Issued 29 August 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue our work to address issues of Anti Social Behaviour in this area. The team are working closely with partner agencies to promote sustainable improvements. Part of the work has involved a closure order that has been obtained in the Upper Bar area to protect vulnerable people and reduce ASB. This work has now resulted in an extension of a PSPO in partnership with the council and other target hardening. We are also working with others to suggest and work towards sustainable improvements in the area to help reduce ASB, which continues to impact the local community and those visiting.

    The team are working to achieve Criminal Behaviour Orders on identified offenders and have completed regular, targeted operations which will continue. Community feedback has been sought and the majority of the surveys completed suggest a reduction in ASB has been achieved as a well as an increase in Police activity seen. This is positive feedback, but the work continues as issues persist. We will continue to seek community feedback and encourage the community to reports issues.

    We have also completed joint assessments with the council and progress is being made to target harden the Upper Bar residential access to safeguard the residents and reduce ASB.

    We are now progressing towards physical gating at identified key areas and are working with the council to fund and install this as a key preventative measure. Enhanced patrols are being completed regularly to deal with any offences robustly but also assist the council in enforcing the PSPO and deal with any breaches of CPW (community protection warning) and/or CPN's (community protection notice).

    Update - We continue in our effort to reduce ASB in this area with a high volume of targeted, meaningful patrols being completed in the area. We are also making progress towards sustainable layout improvements in partnership with the council and retail partners in the area.

    In addition to an increased presence to prevent crime, the NHPT has made multiple arrests of prolific offenders, targeting this area for offences such as Burglary, GBH, Theft of pedal cycle and Shoplifting. We are also making efforts to increase our social media updates to keep the community better informed of our commitment and hard work.

    The team have managed to work with the council to obtain 3 Full closure orders in relation to ASB and crime related address'. Key offenders have also been arrested and prosecuted for breaching CPN's issued by the team and 2 offenders have now received CBO's from prosecution at court. The team are progressing with multiple other CBO applications on key identified ASB offenders as part of our effort to reduce crime and ASB in this area.

    Actioned 29 August 2026

  • Priority:

    ASB and dangerous vehicle use - Littlehay Road

    Issued 29 August 2026

    Action taken:

    The area is highlighted by the community as having issues of vehicles being used in a manner which is creating risk and is dangerous to the public.

    The Use of E-scooters, E-Bikes and Mopeds is causing the community concern as unknown offenders are using the area as a ‘cut through’, causing alarm to the public.
