Neighbourhood Policing Priorities: What Should Be a Priority This Autumn?

Anti-social behaviour, speeding and retail crime are just some of the issues that Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Hertfordshire have been working to address over the past three months, as a direct result of public feedback.

The teams are once again seeking views from residents as they set their next round of local policing priorities.

What is a local policing priority?

NPTs work alongside partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft, speeding and drug-related crime.

They set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern to residents locally.

What can the public expect?

The responses you provide are reviewed by your local officers. 
Residents will see their dedicated team of PCs and PCSOs working alongside partners to address the agreed priorities, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement. 
You can see what your community are saying in response to this survey by visiting the Local Area Pages and entering your postcode. 

What about other crime and issues?

Every area of the county is covered by a NPT but is also policed by response officers who attend emergency calls, detectives who investigate crimes such as burglary, robbery and assault, and specialist countywide units. While there will be a focus on the local priorities, officers will continue to respond to daily business as usual, as well as force wide priorities.

We want to ensure that local policing resources are focusing on the issues that matter most, so I’d encourage everyone to share their views with us by completing the survey via the button below.

If you have previously completed the survey, we’d ask for your feedback once again for it to be reviewed as part of the new priority setting period.

Finally, you don't need to be a Herts Connected member to complete the survey - you can share this message with friends and family, or directly to social media by using the SHARE button below.

The new priorities will be announced at the beginning of September.
