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:
The priorities for the Broxtowe Neighbourhood Policing Area are reviewed every three months at a multi-agency meeting attended by Nottinghamshire Police, Broxtowe Borough Council, Licensing, and Probation partners. The group reviews crime and intelligence data held by the police, information provided by the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Office, and feedback received through the Notts Alerts ‘What Matters’ survey to identify the issues that matter most to local communities. The selection of local priorities does not detract from other policing priorities at either a local or force-wide level. This priority has been identified for Beeston Town Centre in response to ongoing concerns relating to knife crime and violence. Crime and intelligence data indicate the presence of weapon-related offences, while feedback from partners and members of the public highlights concerns regarding associated offences, including robbery.
