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.

Priority:
Speeding
Action taken:
We are actively addressing concerns around speeding through a combination of enforcement and intelligence-led policing.
We are regularly conducting proactive speed checks in key locations and with the recent introduction of a new speed indication device, we are now equipped to monitor vehicle speeds in separate location and take appropriate action against those exceeding limits.
In addition, we are using information received through the public and Operation Crackdown to identify and target individuals involved in anti-social driving. This intelligence allows us to focus our efforts where they are most needed and take enforcement action where necessary. -
