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:
Complaints received from local businesses and members of the public regarding ASB through begging and street drinking in Hull City Centre leading to people feeling unsafe.
Action taken:
Neighbourhood officers continue to work closely with licensing authorities, routinely visiting licensed premises to ensure all conditions are being followed. This includes monitoring the sale of reduced‑strength alcohol, compliance with single‑can sales conditions, and reinforcing the requirement not to serve anyone who is intoxicated or known to have previously caused anti‑social behaviour while under the influence.
Under the new PSPO, it is prohibited within the designated area to:
Make any verbal, non‑verbal, or written request for money, goods, or donations in a manner that causes, or is likely to cause, anti‑social behaviour.
Loiter, sit, or lie on the ground — including in doorways or near cash machines — in a way that causes, or is likely to cause, anti‑social behaviour.
Consume alcohol in any public place within the PSPO boundary, or possess an open container believed to contain alcohol.In addition, within the Safer Entertainment Zone, individuals who are asked to leave by an authorised officer due to their behaviour must not remain in or return to the area within 48 hours.
As of October 2026, we have achieved 15 Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) have been issued to prolific offenders, with a further three awaiting their court hearings.
These combined efforts reflect our continued commitment to keeping the city centre safe, reducing anti‑social behaviour, and ensuring support is available for those who need it.

Priority:
Rough Sleeping/Drug Taking Council Carparks
Action taken:
During the summer months, this issue has not been widely reported by members of the public. However, as weather conditions change, we know from previous years that these concerns are likely to re‑emerge. Both the Police and the Council continue to work closely together and are exploring further long‑term solutions to address this ongoing challenge.
This remains a complex issue that requires a balanced and sensitive approach. Our priority is to protect the public from harm while responding to concerns raised by residents, businesses, and partner agencies.
We continue to work with partners to deal with a number of individuals with complex needs while tackling associated anti‑social behaviour.
To date, 15 Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) have been issued to individuals persistently involved in this behaviour, including conditions restricting access to certain council‑owned car parks.
Work will continue throughout the winter period to keep the area safe, support vulnerable individuals, and respond effectively to emerging issues.
We likely to see an increase in reports of this nature during the winter months and we will continue to monitor this as the weather worsens.

Priority:
Reports of ongoing drug taking and dealing in public spaces- Beverley Road area
Action taken:
Following community feedback, an environmental audit identified that overgrown trees and bushes were reducing visibility in certain locations. The council acted promptly to cut back foliage, which has already had a positive impact on local safety and visibility.
We have also increased policing in the area, deploying both highly visible patrols and plain‑clothes officers. This proactive approach has resulted in multiple arrests and a noticeable reduction in reported incidents and demand for service.
Through Humber Talking and ongoing engagement with residents, we have seen increased confidence in the policing response. Community feedback has been positive and has provided valuable information that continues to support our operations.
To date, we have arrested, charged, and remanded two individuals linked to an organised crime group (OCG). In addition, several street‑level dealers operating on behalf of the group have been arrested and charged.Officers in both plain clothes and uniform will continue to patrol the area to provide reassurance and proactively target anyone involved in criminal activity.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and work alongside our partners and the community to keep the area safe.
