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.

    Police presence at primary schools during drop-off and pick-up times has been enhanced, providing a visible deterrent to unsafe and inconsiderate parking. Officers and PCSOs have actively engaged with parents, carers, and school staff to educate them on the importance of adhering to parking restrictions and maintaining car-free zones.

These efforts have resulted in increased visibility, improved prevention messaging to residents, and a strengthened response aimed at reducing offending and protecting the community.

Property-marking events have been delivered alongside the provision of practical crime prevention advice to residents. Ongoing campaigns will continue to promote vehicle and home security, encouraging simple measures such as locking doors and removing valuables from sight.

Where offenders have been identified, warrants and disruption activity has been carried out to prevent further offending.
