Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
Your area is policed by the local Neighbourhood Policing Team. They are based nearby at a police station within the borough or district and they work to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in this area. They also conduct regular patrols and hold surgeries to share crime prevention advice and respond to issues or concerns. They work to solve underlying problems that cause crime and anti-social behaviour.
Other units also work in this area, responding to emergency calls and investigating crimes such as burglary. You can make an appointment to see someone from the Neighbourhood Policing Team by calling 101 or via the contact us tab. If it is an emergency, you should always call 999.
