The Neighbourhood Inspector has overall responsibility for the entire neighbourhood policing team of Sergeants, Police Constables, PCSOs 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 stakeholders, to enable the neighbourhood policing team to work effectively.

Shoplifting in the town centre.
Issued 01 July 2026
We continue to see shoplifting offences reported from Tesco however, we are proactively dealing with the matter and bringing offenders to justice.
We have conducted engagements with local shops and are routinely using CCTV where there are offences committed to identify offenders using facial recognition. Following arrests made we have been issuing offenders with community protection warnings alongside the criminal investigation to prevent further offences.
