Neighbourhood Policing Team set their local policing priorities for the coming months

Dear Resident

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Dacorum have set their local policing priorities for the coming months. 

NPTs work alongside partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, vehicle nuisance and drug-related crime. 

Using an analysis of data, they set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern. Feedback from members of the public also plays a vital part. 

Residents will see their dedicated team of PCs and PCSOs working alongside partners to address the agreed priorities, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement. 

In Hemel Hempstead South and Kings Langley, the priorities for the coming months are anti-social behaviour and associated criminality, illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes and drug dealing/related activity. 

Previously, members of the public had asked us to focus on anti-social behaviour around Bennetts End shops and Coronation Fields and anti-social vehicle use and drug use around Corner Hall. 

✅ Patrols have been carried out. 
✅ Engagement events have been held to discuss local issues. 
✅ Operations conducted to target illegal off-road bikes. 
✅ Section 59 warnings issued. 
✅ Calls have reduced but issue continues to be monitored.
