I have been a Police officer for 22 years and have worked in a number of departments throughout that time, ranging from CID, SOC, Special Branch, Intelligence and Neighbourhood Policing.
The Neighbourhood Inspector has overall responsibility for the entire neighbourhood policing team of Sergeants, Police Constable, PCSO's and police staff.

Police Community Support officers (PCSOs) are the face of the police within local communities. They play an integral part in delivering effective neighbourhood policing, providing a highly visible policing presence and building relationships with the local community as well as working to problem solve long-term neighbourhood issues.
Through consultation with the public and Partners it has been decided that the Policing priority for April 2026 to June 2026 for the wards Basford and Leen Valley will be Anti Social Behaviour.
