Your safer neighbourhood team
The Neighbourhood Sergeant provides frontline leadership to coordinate neighbourhood team activity, and work with the community, partners and other colleagues, to deliver safer neighbourhoods. This includes directing problem solving and engagement activity, and being responsive to community needs.
Youth Engagement Officers are Police Constables who engage with children and young people, building trust and confidence, whilst working closely with schools and partners. They seek to intervene early, where needed, and be responsive to community needs.
