Tavistock Rural East
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) is a group of local police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers and PCSOs based in your area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Devon and Cornwall.
Please find contact details for your Neighbourhood Policing Team provided below.
Please note that to report a crime or incident to Devon and Cornwall Police, please visit Devon & Cornwall Police or in an emergency, please dial 999.
