Current Priorities
Issue
We welcome feedback from the public and want you to engage with us. Let us know about the issues you have in your area, how we can support your community. We want to know what type of engagement you would like us to do in your area on a regular basis.
This could include:
- Talk to Us sessions where you can come along and speak to us about policing issues or crime prevention advice, and find out who we are and what we do
- Policing Masterclasses where we can deliver an event to educate communities about issues such as; drugs, ASB, fraud, child sexual exploitation or modern day slavery and provide signposting to support agencies
We would also like to see an increase in Community SpeedWatch and Neighbourhood Watch schemes, where communities take ownership for issues in their area, play a pivotal role in helping to tackle issues and get regular support from the police.
If you have any information about criminality or issues in your area or would like more information about the schemes and engagements mentioned, please contact us using the form at the bottom of our team page.
Issue

Action
Officers have been attending the locations, conducting hi-visibility patrols and dealing positively with any offences found in the area.
We have issued a section 59 notice to a motorcycle rider in Pill who was using the vehicle inappropriately.
We continue to patrol on a regular basis but rely on the public to report any issues and would encourage residents to report online and by ringing 101 or 999 in an emergency.
In Pill you can visit the Resource Centre in Baltic Square and use one the the computers there, where staff will be happy to assist you if you struggle using technology.
Issue
Current locations: You can let us know about locations you are concerned about via StreetSafe.
Please note: StreetSafe is not for reporting crimes or emergencies. Instead, report them:
- online – using the report a crime or incident form
- in person – visit a police station
- anonymously to Crimestoppers
Examples of situations that should be reported to StreetSafe include a poorly lit alleyway that makes you feel unsafe or a park with broken equipment that poses a safety hazard.
If you’re unsure whether something is a crime or not you can read the related guidance on our website.
