Kingsbridge

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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Drink drug driving/ vehicle offences

Issued 23 March 2026

Driving under the influence of drink or drugs is an unacceptable, high risk crime. We run specific operations to target this, and will report results of these operations through our social media page and Neighbourhood Alert, while continuing to carry out stop-checks.

Actioned 30 June 2026

Anti-Social Behaviour

Issued 23 March 2026

With the weather improving, we are aware and alive to the threat of anti-social behaviour returning to our towns. We aim to stop it before it starts through foot-patrol, engagement, and enforcement where necessary, promoting pro-social use of the local amenities and ensuring everyone in the community can enjoy their local area.

Actioned 30 June 2026

Community feedback and surveys

Issued 23 March 2026

We want to know what you would like us to focus on: we listen to your feedback whenever provided to us, and will carry out surveys either in person or via Neighbourhood Alert to better understand what you want your Police service to tackle.

Actioned 30 June 2026
