Neighbourhood Policing Team set their local policing priorities for the coming months

Dear Resident

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Dacorum have set their local policing priorities for the coming months. 

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

Using an analysis of data, they set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern. Feedback from members of the public also plays a vital part. 

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. 

In Berkhamsted and Tring, there will be a continued focus on anti-social behaviour in reported hotspot areas, building on work already done over the past few months: 

✅ Patrols have been carried out. 
✅ Businesses and partner agencies have been liaised with. 
✅ Crime prevention stands and engagement events have been held to provide a visible presence. 
✅ Offenders have been identified, with appropriate action taken. 
✅ Officers have visited local schools. 
✅ Operational work is ongoing behind the scenes to identify further offenders. 
✅ Calls in Tring central have reduced by around 30 per cent during the priority period.
