Neighbourhood policing is the police services commitment to improving your quality of life by working together with partners, targeting the issues that you identify as those that matter. ....................Because this will be achieved by the police in your area working together with partners you may know it locally by a different name such as Neighbourhood Management or Safer Neighbourhoods.

Neighbourhood Policing is based on local priorities identified by local people as the issues that need to be dealt with in their area and Police and partners will work together to tackle them. It is vital that local people work with them to improve the quality of life in their area. ........................ This is your opportunity to influence the service provided by police and partners in your area.

Each police force is working with partners and community members to define these neighbourhoods which may vary from force to force. A neighbourhood is usually a geographic area which is of a size that best serves the needs of the local communities reflecting the people that live within it. ..................... A neighbourhood team can be made up of police officers, neighbourhood watch, police community support officers, community wardens, special constables, volunteers and partners, all working together in partnership.

Details of your neighbourhood officers and how to contact them are available from your local force. For details contact your local police station, visit your force website .................... http://www.wiltshire.police.uk/npt/defau lt.asp

Neighbourhood Policing means you will know who your neighbourhood officer is, how to contact them and what they are doing to address your local crime and disorder priorities. ................... See the Warminster NPT page on this site. ................... Neighbourhood teams will work closely with residents to improve your neighbourhood. The police will continue to provide emergency and 24 hour response; but the main focus of neighbourhood policing teams will be dealing with your problems and priorities.
