Local Bobbies
A Local Bobby is a neighbourhood police officer dedicated to a particular community.
What your Local Bobby does
Local Bobbies identify threat, harm and risk to tackle local issues and protect the community. They investigate local crimes, collect intelligence and work closely with partner organisations to solve problems. They are expected to be visible in their communities, listen to local concerns and address the causes of crime and antisocial behaviour.
Part of a wider team
Local Bobbies do not work alone. They are supported by Neighbourhood Policing Teams, District Police Teams, Missing Locate Teams, Priority Crime Teams, local investigation teams and specialist services dealing with serious violence, child abuse and organised crime.
