The latest set of Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) priorities have been set for North Herts.
Hitchin Rural
- Fly-tipping in Breachwood Green
- Speeding, particularly in High Street, Kimpton and High Street, Codicote
The NPTs work alongside partner agencies to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as shoplifting, anti-social behaviour (ASB), speeding and drug-related crime.
The teams set their local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern to residents locally. Information provided by the public via the force’s community feedback forum ‘echo’ plays a vital part of this process, as well as an analysis of crime data.
Local officers will often work alongside partners to address the agreed priorities below, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement.
