An active presence in every neighbourhood


Local policing


We believe that we should build our police service from the local level upwards. Headed by a senior police leader, every neighbourhood will have access to locally based police community support officers (PCSOs), police officers, Special constables and police staff who are visible and responsive to local needs.


In order to meet the range of demands placed on us, by April 2012 we will have reorganised our policing areas. See Appendix 4. This will enable us to make the savings we need while protecting local services.


We will continue to work with our partners in community safety to provide a high quality service at the lowest possible cost.


Anti-social behaviour


Our aim to reduce anti-social behaviour was strengthened during the summer when we ran a campaign to deal with the offenders and locations where disorder was prevalent. Staff from across our organisation worked together and with partners in community safety to achieve this. The result of this campaign was a significant reduction in rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour, vehicle- related nuisance and vandalism.


This year we will further improve how we deal with disorder in your communities as identified by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in the report Stop the Rot.


Particular focus will be:


• reducing the amount of anti social- behaviour


• making sure that we do things that work now rather than relying on what has worked in the past


• reorganising our local policing teams to provide policing services to you in a way which is relevant to your communities.


For more information on how to contact, and meet with, your local Safer Neighbourhoods team, or to become a volunteer, please visit your local police station, call 101 or visit our website.
