Hello Resident

My name is PC 2418 Jonathan Onyon and I am the local Neighbourhood Policing Officer for Watling Ward (Markyate, Flamstead & Great Gaddesden).

Is there an issue or concern that you’d like your local officers to address?

Time is running out to have your say as we look to set our latest round of local policing priorities during April.

What is a local policing priority

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPT) work alongside partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft, speeding, and drug related crime.

They set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern to residents.

What can the public expect

Over the coming months, residents will see their dedicated team of PCs and PCSOs working alongside partners to address the agreed priorities, through increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement.

You can keep up with the work that’s being done via social media and local media.

What about other crime and issues

Your town is not just covered by your NPT. It is also policed by Intervention officers who respond to emergency calls, the Local Crime Unit which investigates the more serious crimes such as burglary, robbery and assault, and specialist units such as Operation Scorpion who work to tackle acquisitive crime. They are also supported by central teams who work countywide.

While there will be a focus on the local priorities, officers will continue to respond to daily business as usual, as well as force wide priorities and any emerging issues which require more immediate action.

Many Thanks
