To be visible, accessible and responsive

Issued 30 June 2026

Maintaining a strong presence across our communities through high-visibility patrols, targeted operations and regular engagement opportunities in areas identified through community concerns, crime patterns and local intelligence.
These patrols are designed not only to deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour but also to provide opportunities for residents to speak with us directly about issues affecting their community.
Community engagement remains a priority. Through police surgeries, Mobile Police Stations, community meetings and local events, we are committed to listening to your concerns and working collaboratively with residents, businesses and partner agencies to tackle local issues.
We will continue to advertise and host police surgeries and mobile police stations to provide an opportunity for residents to meet us in an informal setting. These sessions allow you to discuss concerns, report ongoing issues, seek crime prevention advice and find out more about the work we do.
We will provide regular updates on social media, Neighbourhood Matters and local meetings, we will continue to share information about policing activity, community issues, ongoing initiatives and successful outcomes
