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.

Drugs, violence and anti-social behaviour - Montrose Street
Action taken:
Concerns were raised by residents regards drugs, violence and anti-social behaviour in the Montrose Street area. Research has been done by the team and several properties have been identified as potentially been involved. The team were successful in obtaining a closure notice at Hull Magistrates Court meaning a property has been closed, occupants removed and the property is boarded up. Efforts are ongoing to take possession of the property permanently by supporting the housing provider with their own legal processes meaning once our order has elapsed, the tenant cannot return. Initial action has been taken at other properties regards their contribution to the issue in the area and the addresses continue to be monitored.
There have been numerous arrests in relation to drug supply with a large quantity of class A drugs and cash being seized. 4 people remain on police bail whilst enquiries are ongoing, and one male is currently remanded in custody.
Tenancy warnings and civil action by Hull City Council has also been done at properties in the street over the past few weeks.
Calls to police about the area have reduced significantly, however we still continue to receive reports about a small number of properties. We are currently working with partners to look at evictions as well as any criminal prosecutions if possible.
