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:
Nuisance motorbikes, e-bikes, e-scooter and quad bikes in the areas of Dorchester Road and Castle Hill Road.
Action taken:
Humberside Police have received several reports of nuisance motorbikes being driven in an anti-social behaviour across Dorchester Road and Castle Hill Road which is causing nuisance and intimidating residents.
Humberside Police have recently held an OP Yellowfin Week of Action which has included the areas of Dorchester Road and Castle Hill Road. This has resulted in an increased presence of officers in these areas targeting nuisance bikes. This has included an increased presence of officers in the area, including OP Yokohama (police off road bike team) and a drone officer being deployed to the area which has resulted in several bike seizures.
These areas continue to be a hotspot for nuisance motorcycles and talks are ongoing for future yellowfin and drone days, as well as other methods to address this complex issue.
