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:
Operation Galileo
Action taken:
Operation Galileo is about the wildlife crime committed through Hare coursing where people usually from outside the area come into the Humberside Police area and bring dogs usually of the greyhound, Whippet and Suliki type breeds to chase and catch Hares on farmland.
These people do not have permission to be on the land and they usually bring 4X4 type vehicles and drive over the land causing potential damage to crops.
The use of dogs to capture and kill wildlife is an offence.
Please if you see any coursing going on ring the Police on 101 if it is safe to do so.
