Your Local Neighbourhood Policing Team
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.
PC Pennicott is the Neighbourhood supervisor for Milton Keynes NE rural area.
This officer is a Constable and takes direction from the Sergeant and they work with the community and other agencies. They are also responsible for tackling those issues as identified by the local community.
Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) are the face of the police within local communities. They play an integral part in delivering effective neighbourhood policing, providing a highly visible policing presence and building relationships with the local community as well as working to problem solve long-term neighbourhood issues.
This officer is a Police Community Support Officer. While having no power of arrest, the officer can attend incidents, patrol and reassure, tackle ASB and parking issues, and in Thames Valley will be deployed to deliver our Crime Attendance policy of attending to provide follow up support and contact. They too are also responsible for tackling the concerns of the community.
The Neighbourhood Inspector has overall responsibility for the entire neighbourhood policing team of Sergeants, Police Constables, PCSOs and police staff. They are responsible for delivering on neighbourhood policing strategies, directing the deployment of the team and developing relationships with partners and key stakeholders to enable the neighbourhood policing team to work effectively.
Community and Diversity Officers (CADOs) provide crucial support to help local areas improve their engagement with diverse communities. They play a key role in helping to promote community cohesion, breaking down cultural barriers and assist in reducing fear of crime.

Anti-Social Behaviour in Rural Communities
Action taken:
We are receiving reports of anti-social behaviour in villages and rural public spaces, including vehicle nuisance, noise disturbances, and youth-related ASB. Officers will carry out high-visibility patrols and work with partners, including local councils, to reduce incidents and provide long-term solutions.
During OP DROVER, targeted hot spot patrols were conducted. Officers responded to any ASB reports. 11 stop searches were completed and 1 arrest relating to anti – social behaviour reports. Work was also completed with the Pubs, where licencing checks were completed and 7 Drugs Wipes – to ensure that the community is safe when on a night out.
In terms of vehicle nuisance reports, multiple letter drops have been completed in targeted areas to build up a wide picture of the issue. Reports are being monitored, and fed back to the relevant department and agency (Milton Keynes Council) to support the Problem Solving approach.
