Hi Resident

Our communities want and expect to see officers and staff dealing with the issues they care about, responding when they need us, dealing with those who cause harm in our communities and making our two counties a hostile environment for criminals.

The force has identified and allocated 99 officers to be the named Local Bobbies. Each one has been assigned to a ‘neighbourhood’. Some neighbourhoods are just one ward, other neighbourhoods are several wards. The allocation of the officers has been based on crime trends.

This new scheme will ensure people know who to contact about safety and crime concerns, it will also provide ample opportunities for the community to share information and intelligence easily, ultimately helping us to police more effectively.

Your Local Bobby is a neighbourhood policing officer dedicated to your area.

They will identify threat, harm and risk to tackle local issues and protect the community. They will investigate local crimes and collect intelligence, working closely with partner agencies to identify the best problem solving approach.

They are supported by Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Neighbourhood Enforcement Teams, District Police Teams (response officers), Missing Locate Teams, Priority Crime Teams, local investigation teams and specialist functions investigating serious violence, child abuse and organised crime.

Your Local bobby will be highly visible in the community, listening to your concerns and addressing root causes of crime.
