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.

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 |
