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.

Drug-Related Harm
Action taken:
We’re actively working to reduce drug related activity through enhanced patrols, focused police operations, community intelligence and targeting known hotspots for drug use and dealing.
We will continue working closely with partners to address the impact of drug-related harm in your local neighbourhood.
This joint approach allows us to take meaningful action, supporting those affected, disrupting criminal activity, and improving safety.

Priority:
Speeding / Anti-social driving
Action taken:
We are actively addressing concerns around speeding and anti-social driving through a combination of enforcement and intelligence-led policing.
We are regularly conducting proactive road 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 such as section 59 warnings or seizing vehicles where necessary.

Priority:
Anti-social behaviour
Action taken:
We are increasing patrols to address this issue in the areas that are predominantly affected. We are engaging directly with those involved to raise awareness of the impact their behaviour is having on the wider community.
Through positive engagement and visible policing, we aim to reduce anti-social behaviour and prevent further tension between residents and those causing issues.
