Neighbourhood Policing describes teams of police officers, community support officers, police staff, special constables and support volunteers, who work within communities to make people feel safer where they live.
Neighbourhood Policing teams can be seen out and about, engaging with the public, businesses, schools, colleges, and other organisations, playing an important role in building relationships within communities and providing knowledge, reassurance, and resolution on a wide range of policing matters, whilst also gathering intelligence.
Community engagement is an essential part of Neighbourhood Policing, which involves building trust and developing a deep understanding of what a community needs, with officers working with partners such as councils and housing providers, to problem-solve issues such as anti-social behaviour and drug issues and prevent them from reoccurring.
Neighbourhood Policing teams help safeguard vulnerable children and adults, and when a problem is spotted, they will provide early intervention to stop matters from escalating.
