Priorities are set for East Herts Rurals

Priorities are set for East Herts Rurals

Your East Herts Rurals Neighbourhood Policing Team 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.

Whilst there will be a focus on the local priorities, officers will continue to respond to daily business as usual, as well as forcewide priorities and any emerging issues which require more immediate action.

Alongside the NPT, East Herts is also policed by officers who respond to emergency calls, a team of detectives who investigate crimes such as burglary, robbery and assault, and specialist units who work to tackle issues such as acquisitive crime and domestic abuse. In addition, they can call on officers from central teams which work countywide.

Residents in East Herts Rurals previously asked us to address anti-social behaviour in youth related anti-social behaviour in parks around Buntingford town centre, and hare coursing in Braughing and The Pelhams.

You can keep up to date with work around the priorities by following East Herts Police on social media and via the ‘Your Area’ section of the Herts police website.
