Your Local Neighbourhood Policing Team
The Inspector is in command of the neighbourhood Policing Team and is responsible for the overall policing of the neighbourhood. They lead, manage and co-ordinate the team and also work with the community and other agencies, in ensuring an appropriate and timely response to incidents and issues affecting the community.
The Neighbourhood Sergeant provides frontline management to support and co-ordinate the activity of the neighbourhood policing team. They work with key partners and stakeholders to problem solve issues and develop innovative ways to identify and safeguard vulnerable people within the community.
Police Constables work alongside the community and partner agencies to tackle crime and issues identified by the local community. They work together with PCSOs to be a visible presence in the local area and build trust and confidence by developing a detailed understanding of the community.

Crimes and priorities
-
Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Street level drug dealing is occurring in the service areas adjacent to the now closed High Street car park with suggestion the suppliers are coming from Amber House
Action taken:
A drugs warrant was executed at a flat in Amber House to disrupt supply locally, we await to see what impact this has and continue to target the dealing on the street
-
Priority:
Short term lets are available at The Grand Exchange and some are repeatedly being used as brothels. This causes associated anti-social behaviour in the form of late night noise poor behaviour from customers in the vicinity
Action taken:
We have obtained a closure order on the main flat and are checking it regularly for any breaches. We are alive to the fact the problem may have moved elsewhere in the town centre and will act again if that is the case
-
Priority:
Under 18s accessing restricted areas and abusing staff and customers in restaurants particularly Princess Square and near to Union Square
Action taken:
Our Summer Safer Streets had limited impact due to resourcing pressures, however we do have further plans to focus patrols on Princess Square
