Local Policing Teams

Working alongside officers and staff from a range of specialist departments, local policing teams consist of at least one local policing officer (LPO) and one community support officer (CSO). 

In addition to using their full enforcement powers to deal with crime and anti-social behaviour, their key role is to ensure that communities have a genuine say in what local issues are addressed as priorities and how their communities are policed. To do this, they need to:

• Understand and be accessible to their local neighbourhood
• Engage communities and partners to identify safety concerns
• Agree the top priorities for neighbourhood action
• Work with partners to deliver an agreed approach
• Report back on a regular basis on what has been achieved.
