Your local team
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) plays a vital role in tackling many of the local issues that matter to you. They are out in your area every day, and always available to offer crime prevention advice or for you to raise concerns with.
Each NPT consists of a dedicated Sergeant, Police Constables (PCs) and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), all under the command of an Inspector. While they may be the ones you see the most, the NPTs do not work alone. They are supported by staff and officers from across the whole Humberside Police force area, and they work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide the local policing priorities for the area and find useful, long-term solutions.
Our approach is shaped by four key themes: We protect vulnerable people and keep people safe; We are out in your communities, visible, listening and working with you to deliver the services you need; We successfully tackle crime and ASB; We will be there when you need us.

Speed enforcement in rural villages
Action taken:
We have completed multiple Speed Enforcement events throughout last year and as a result multiple drivers have been dealt with. This is an ongoing project. Over the coming weeks and months, we will continue to work with Parish Councils and ERYC Traffic Management, with the aim of changing the behaviour of some road users who drive above the speed limit through our villages.

School Parking Issues
Action taken:
Parking on yellow lines / zig-zag markings outside schools is a potentially dangerous practice which also causes congestion. We continue to work in conjunction with Headteachers and their staff, as well as ERYC Road Safety officers to address the issue.
