The neighbourhood team are always keen to get involved with community events and get to know the people.

Let us know where you want to see us!  We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to get to know our community, so if you have an event or group that you’d like us to attend, an issue that you need police help with, or just somewhere that you’d like to see us patrolling more often then get in touch and let us know.

Anti-Social Behaviour can be distressing to victims who can sometimes feel harassed and unsafe within their communities. The neighbourhood team are working collaboratively with businesses, partner agencies and the community to reduce the issues and improve the living and working conditions for those within the community.

This work is ongoing and we continue to encourage and assist young people to engage in activities that will reduce their involvement in anti social behaviour, broaden opportunities and improve their quality of life.

Please continue to report issues to police via the 101 or online services and in the event of an emergency 999.

In recent months police have seen a sharp increase in shop thefts throughout Hartcliffe, Withywood and Bishopsworth.

This affects not only business owners and shop staff but the community who may experience an increase in the prices of products to make up for the loss of store profits.

Neighbourhood policing teams are now focussing attention on the areas most affected and being proactive in dealing with these offences.

We welcome any information about where stolen items are being sold and are keen to identify offenders and anyone who is promoting this type of crime.

Please report using our 101 or online services.
