Your neighbourhood policing team
The Neighbourhood Inspector has overall responsibility for the entire neighbourhood policing team of Sergeants, Police Constables, PCSOs and police staff.
They are responsible for delivering on neighbourhood policing strategies, directing the deployment of the team and developing relationships with partners and key stakeholders, to enable the neighbourhood policing team to work effectively.
The Neighbourhood Sergeant provides frontline leadership to coordinate neighbourhood team activity, and works with the community, partners and other colleagues to deliver safer neighbourhoods.
This includes directing problem solving and engagement activity and being responsive to community needs.
PCSOs provide a visible, accessible and approachable uniformed presence in the community, using designated powers where needed, deterring and preventing crime, and tackling antisocial behaviour.
They are problem solvers and work with partners, where needed, to address local issues.

Priority:
Anti-social behaviour
Action taken:
We continue to tackle antisocial behaviour through targeted, high-visibility patrols in hotspot areas, disrupting issues before they escalate. Officers are proactively identifying those responsible and addressing behaviour with proportionate and preventative measures. This includes offering advice, engaging with parents and guardians, building positive relationships with young people, and issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) where appropriate. Our approach combines enforcement with early intervention to reduce harm and improve community safety.

Priority:
Anti-social driving
Action taken:
Proactive patrols are continuing across the area to identify and target individuals involved in anti-social driving. Drivers who put others at risk are being dealt with robustly, with enforcement action taken where necessary.
We’re also working closely with Community Speed Watch to address speeding concerns and improve road safety. This partnership, alongside our visible presence, supports our commitment to keeping roads safe and tackling dangerous driving behaviour head-on.
