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.

Anti Social use of Motorbikes - Middledyke Lane

In the coming months the Neighbourhood Policing Team will look to address the rise in misuse of motorbikes, e-bikes and quad bikes on the Flood Alleviation Lagoon on Middledyke Lane. The team will be providing a high visibility response to the issues on a day to day basis but also conducting days of action in conjunction with our neighbouring team in North Hull at the site dealing positively with offenders who cause the local community distress.

Priority:
Anti Social Behaviour - Cottingham
Action taken:
October and November are historically months where general ASB increases with Halloween and Bonfire Night.
The local policing team will be providing extra high visibility patrols at targeted times and areas across Halloween and Bonfire night and look to deal with Anti Social behaviour that is effecting the community.
As well as this the team will be looking to tackle the existing Anti Social Behaviour in the form of E-Bikes / Scooters, general ASB in town centre and trespass on the old Hull University sites within the Cotitngham area. -
Priority:
Shop Theft - Cottingham
Action taken:
This year Cottingham has seen a general rise in shop theft. All the major stores have been targeted. The local policing team have been working closely with Shop watch and to identify and arrest offenders. This month the shops, Police and Councillors had a meeting with the local MP to see how we can work better to reduce offending.
The run up to Christmas generally sees a seasonal increase in offending and the local team will look to increase our visibility as much as possible as well as attend events such as the Cottingham Christmas Festival. Couple with this the team will be providing extra patrols at high footfall pre Christmas shopping times.
