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.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour During the Summer Holidays
Action taken:
With the summer holidays now underway, your local Neighbourhood Police Team will be carrying out increased patrols and closely monitoring reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB) across the area. We understand that the vast majority of young people enjoy their holidays responsibly. However, where anti-social behaviour occurs, we will respond robustly. Our officers will be working alongside the Neighbourhood Support Team, housing providers, Plymouth Community Connections and other local partners to identify issues early, prevent escalation and take positive action where necessary. Our aim is to ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe and peaceful summer. We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents of anti-social behaviour, as the information you provide helps us identify hotspots, direct patrols and take appropriate enforcement action where required. Together with our partners and the local community, we are committed to keeping our neighbourhoods safe throughout the summer holidays.
