Neighbourhood Policing Teams

Every citizen in Hertfordshire has access to the services of a Neighbourhood Policing Team.

The teams operate in ‘Neighbourhoods which are clusters of wards, comprised of Neighbourhood Constables, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and officers from the Special Constabulary. They work closely with local authority wardens and officers, Neighbourhood Watch groups and people and organisations accredited as 'partners' in community safety.

Members of the teams are trained to enable them to deal with and understand the very specific and diverse needs of their communities.

The teams aim to:

• Engage with local people and establish what community safety issues matter the most to them.

• Use problem solving techniques to address local issues and to set in place long-term and sustainable solutions.

• Continue to work closely with community safety partners.

• Work with our partners to explore further ways to enhance working together at a local level, improving communication and accessibility.
