Neighbourhood policing team
I am Chief Inspector for the City Neighbourhoods and am responsible for local Policing in the City areas.
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. They are responsible for delivering on neighbourhood policing strategies, directing the deployment of the team and developing relationships with partners and key stakeholder to enable the neighbourhood policing team to work effectively.
The Neighbourhood Sergeant provides frontline management to support and co-ordinate the activity of the neighbourhood policing team. They work with key partners and stakeholders to problem solve issues and develop innovative ways to identify and safeguard vulnerable people within the community.
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.
