Local Policing Team
Our Neighbourhood Policing Teams consist of Neighbourhood Team Leaders (police sergeants), Neighbourhood Beat Managers (police officers) and police community support officers (PCSOs) who are accountable to their local community. A key element of the role is to undertake community engagement to understand community concerns and update them on police activity in order to build confidence.
They will work in partnership with teams both within the police (for example alcohol licensing and youth intervention) and externally (local authorities, Environmental Health and registered social landlords) to problem solve community issues. The underlying principle of our neighbourhood policing model is to intervene at the earliest possible opportunity to prevent an escalation of crime and harm.

Priority:
Youth Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will continue to identify, prevent and address incidents of youth-related anti-social behaviour that negatively impact local communities. We will work proactively with partner agencies, schools, youth services and local residents to engage with young people, provide early intervention where appropriate, and take proportionate enforcement action against those responsible for persistent or harmful behaviour. Through high-visibility patrols, community engagement and targeted problem-solving, we aim to reduce reports of ASB, improve public confidence and make our neighbourhoods safer places to live, work and visit

Priority:
Motorcycle-Related Theft and Anti-Social Riding
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will prioritise tackling motorcycle-related theft and anti-social riding through a combination of targeted enforcement, crime prevention and partnership working. We will focus on identifying offenders involved in the theft of motorcycles and the use of motorcycles in an anti-social or dangerous manner, using intelligence-led patrols, proactive operations and engagement with local communities. Working alongside partner agencies, we will seek to prevent offending, disrupt criminal activity and provide crime prevention advice to owners. Our aim is to reduce motorcycle-related crime, improve road safety and minimise the impact that anti-social riding has on residents and visitors
