Your neighbourhood policing team
Local Policing is organised into 3 divisions, each comprising Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) based within district teams. NPTs provide community engagement, foot patrols and assist local and partnership problem-solving. NPTs are led by a District Commander and comprise sergeants, police officers and PCSOs.
These work with youth, licensing and enforcement officers. Also, investigators, specialists, and police staff within divisions and across Sussex Police support NPTs to protect communities and catch criminals.

Anti-social driving
Action taken:
We have taken proactive steps to address vehicle-related offences, including anti-social driving and vehicle theft. Using intelligence gathered through public reports and Operation Crackdown, officers have identified and targeted key individuals, resulting in arrests and disruption of offending behaviour.
Our patrols have been focused in hotspot areas, allowing us to respond quickly and take enforcement action where necessary. This ongoing work reflects our commitment to tackling dangerous driving, protecting property, and keeping our roads safe.

We’re working closely with the rural crime team and cross boarder Kent officers to tackle issues like farm machinery theft.
