Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Increased visibility of local police officers.

Issued 28 June 2026

We know the public want to see uniformed police officers and PCSO's out and about on foot more: this is a clear aim over the Summer for us: it helps to drive down poor behaviour, helps the communities we police engage with us better and reassures the public.
