As a team our aim is to target crime and reduce anti-social behaviour problems as well as providing highly visible policing to suit the needs of our community.
We hold regular PACT meetings, beats surgeries and other engagement activity. Details of which can be found on the Hampshire Constabulary website. At our PACT meetings we discuss local crime and policing issues and set community priorities for the Peartree and Woolston Neighbourhood and report back to residents how we have dealt current community policing priorities.
The team can be contacted on 101 or by e-mail [email protected].
