Your neighbourhood policing team
Our ambition is to provide a neighbourhood policing service of which you, and we, can be proud. Prevention will be at the heart of our work, through well-informed collaborative problem-solving, building participation and strengthening the communities we serve. We will remain part of those communities, known and accessible to you, and policing in a way that both prevents harm and enhances your trust in us.
Our approach is shaped by five key themes: accessibility, prevention, vulnerability, relationships and partnerships. These will underpin all areas of our service and form the basis of our neighbourhood policing offer.
Crimes and priorities

Action taken:

Priority:
E-Scooters and E-Bikes are in the most part illegal to use in public and are a danger to riders and the public. Reducing the use of them by educating the public, proactively enforcing, and removing these from the streets reduces the risk to the riders and the public.
Action taken:
Neighbourhood officers are using different tactics to identify those on illegal E-Scooters and E-Bikes to gather intelligence. This information is used for planned operations, where these E-Scooters and E-Bikes have been and will be seized.
-
Priority:
To focus on the increase of reported Burglaries and Theft from Motor Vehicles offences.
Action taken:
The Local Neighbourhood Policing Team are carrying out targeted patrols and contacting members of the Community who have Ring Doorbell footage, to assist in identifying those involved with the theft from motor vehicles and burglaries. Work is continuing by the Team to identify these offenders and to get them before the courts. Please do not leave valuables in your vehicles. Also, do not leave windows open and doors unlocked.
