Local Policing

Neighbourhood policing, emergency response, local investigations and problem solving across five Local Policing Areas.

Five Area Commands coordinate district policing, neighbourhood policing, response and local investigation.

Dedicated neighbourhood teams work with communities and partners to prevent crime, protect vulnerable people and solve recurring local problems.

Response officers provide emergency and priority response, initial investigation, reassurance and incident management.

District teams support detainee handling, custody interviews, outstanding enquiries, case progression and district response.

Specialist rural policing focused on rural crime, harm to rural communities and partnership work with landowners and rural organisations.

Targeted local activity against serious violence, repeat harm and high-risk offenders.

Policing support for licensed premises, events and partnership activity where police licensing functions apply.
