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 behaviour
Action taken:
Foot patrols have been increased in key areas where anti-social behaviour has been reported. This targeted approach ensures we’re addressing issues promptly, through various measures such as words of advice, engaging with parents, community surveys, and issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) to mitigate harm.

Priority:
Drug related activity
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.
