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.

Priority:
Anti-social behaviour around Howden.
Action taken:
Officers from the Neighbourhood Team are aware of a marked increase in anti-social behaviour with some new arrivals in the area.
Officers will be working with partner agencies and local Schools to identify those involved and be taking positive action to reduce the ASB in this area. Howden Town Centre now benefits from a brand new CCTV system which will enable swift identification of offenders and hopefully deter any potential offenders. This was implemented by Howden Town Council, with the police having access to the system for review when required.
This continues to be a Priority and Officers are carrying out targeted sessions in local schools around this issue and dealing positively with named individuals.

Priority:
Road Safety
Action taken:
Road safety continues to be a reoccurring issue within the ward area. Howden has recently implemented a community speed watch programme which will hopefully empower the local community to be involved in improving road safety in their area. Additionally there has been several reductions in speed limits on the road networks in and around Howden in an aim to improve road safety and reduce the potential for collisions. There are further reductions proposed which are being looked into with the local council.
Road Safety continues to be a Priority across all wards consistently. All NPT Staff have had training or refresh training for the Pro Laser for speed enforcement and regular targeted school patrols within Ward areas to give Words of Advice regards possible traffic offences and road safety issues.
