Neighbourhood policing team
Your local policing team is made up of dedicated neighbourhood officers and community support officers based in your community, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with our partners and engage the community when deciding our policing priorities for your area. By working together we aim to find solutions to longstanding local problems while maintaining our wider focus on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour across Nottinghamshire.

Priority:
Rural Crime comes in a variety of forms, and we know goes underreported. Bassetlaw is a large area of over 250 square miles and criminals will attempt to exploit this, often from bordering counties. Our Rural community are often isolated and the impact of damage to fields, crops and equipment, poaching and theft of vehicles can be devastating.
Action taken:
We have conducted a number of operations in recent weeks, working alongside our Road Crime Unit, Off Road Bike Team and Rural trained officers in targeted poachers and those committing crime on East Bassetlaw. Neighbourhoods Policing Team officers are working hard at targeted hardening a number of sites and I recently met with a number of farmers and landowners to understand the effect of rural crime, how we can work more closely and work on any barriers which prevent the sharing of information and improve how we work.
