HomeAbout the Neighbourhood Teams
Neighbourhood Teams can be made up of both police and partner resources, depending on the needs of the community.
A typical team may consist of an Inspector, Sergeant, Constables, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), Special Constables and volunteers. Partners can include local councillors, wardens, neighbourhood managers, housing managers, youth workers, private security companies, Neighbourhood Watch groups and other community voluntary organisations. It may also include anyone accredited under Community Safety Accreditation Schemes, which allow individuals involved in a community safety role to be given a limited number of powers.
Team members will be visible, accessible, locally-known and knowledgeable about their areas. As well as using their powers to deal with crime and disorder, they will work with partners to resolve problems that matter most to local people.
