Torre & Upton

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.

  • Organised Drug Supply
  • Serious and Organised Crime
  • Child Sexual Abuse

In addition to this, we regularly speak to members of the community to establish what other issues they may be experiencing in the area. The word cloud below represents the issues that residents of Torre - FT2J have recently highlighted as priorities for the area (including some that say “I have no issues”).

Word clouds are graphical representations of word frequency that give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently. The larger the word in the visual below the more common the word was in the local survey.

We seek to tackle the issues raised in line with our Local Policing Community Charter. To 'Have your say' on local issues, please click on the button below to complete a short survey.
