Humberside Police have shone a light on their Neighbourhood Policing teams as a part of the third annual national Neighbourhood Policing week of action.
We’ll be bringing you interviews with Neighbourhood Policing officers who have a wealth of experience and knowledge in working in the heart of our communities to make them a safe and enjoyable place to live.
Not only this, but we'll be showing the public a week in the life of the force's Neighbourhood Policing Teams who work closely with Special Constables, Community Cohesion officers and other teams across the force conducting warrants, high visibility patrols, school visits, as well as a variety of community engagement activities such as HumberTalking, My Community Alert, surveys and much more to understand and listen to what’s important to our communities.
Heading up this year’s week of action is Superintendent Sharon Philpott based on the Southbank, and Superintendent Paul Butler, from the Northbank, who say:
“Whilst this week will likely be business as usual for our neighbourhood policing teams across the force, it is really important that we showcase to residents what we do every day in the heart of our communities, to make difference.
“Neighbourhood Policing is so much more than community engagement to all our officers, it’s an opportunity to make a difference in tackling crime, anti-social behaviour, working with partners to solve community-based problems as well as gathering information to help inform the bigger policing picture.
“As part of the week of action I would encourage members of the public to speak with our officers out and about in your area working alongside partners and local businesses conducting HumberTalking surveys, offering reassurance, answering any questions or concerns you may have about what’s happening in your area.
“Over 200 surgeries have been booked in this week alone, which only just touches the service of the amount of community engagement activities our officers organise day in, day out, and not just as part of this week of action.
“From cycle marking events, to hotspot patrols, physical activities such as walks and our infamous ‘active Friday’s’, to school engagements, webinars, coffee mornings and everything in between, they well and truly deserve a week of celebration!
“I hope that you enjoy finding out a bit more about them and about the brilliant work that they do each and every day this week.”
