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 across the ward, including youth related ASB and vehicle related ASB.
Action taken:
As we approach the summer holidays along with the continued good weather we anticipate a spike in anti-social behaviour across the ward area. Reports indicate that incidents occur throughout the community, with reoccurring issues including large groups congregating in public spaces, vandalism, littering, occasional intimidation and nuisance motor vehicles.
We will be targeting our ASB hot-spot areas with high visibility patrols, targeted action and multi-agency working with our partners including council, housing, local businesses and our ward councillors. Our ongoing efforts focus on prevention, education and partnership working to ensure that ASB is effectively managed and that the area remains a safe and attractive place to live, work and visit.
If you experience ASB in your area then please report this via our non-emergency number 101 or via an online report through the Humberside Police website. These reports help local officers identify trends and allocate resources effectively and to be able to take appropriate and positive action.

Priority:
Retail Crime Prevention.
Action taken:
We acknowledge the impact that repeated thefts and disruptive incidents have on our local retail stores, their staff and the wider community. These offences place pressure on businesses, affect staff wellbeing and can influence how unsafe people feel when shopping.
To address this, we are further strengthening our work with retailers to help prevent crime and improve safety. We will maintain regular contact with stores, providing crime prevention advice and support staff with reporting and responding to incidents. By building strong relationships and sharing information with retail stores and security teams we can better identify repeat offenders and focus patrols where they are most needed. Through this partnership approach we aim to reduce crime, support our retailers and create safer more confident communities.
With recent legislation changes we have adapted our approach to targeting our most prolific shop theft offenders and have recently issued a criminal behaviour order (C.B.O) to one particular individual who was targeting stores on our ward area. We will be actively pursuing our highest harm retail offenders and progressing more C.B.O applications. This, coupled with the continued regular engagement we have already within our stores will hopefully reduce shop theft and increase confidence.
