HOTSPOT PATROLS...

#VisibleLocalTrusted | Today, local officers have continued with their #HotSpot patrols across the district. 

They initially started their shift, engaging with market stall holders, local residents and businesses in Rugeley moving over to Cannock in the afternoon where they continued to engage with local residents and businesses. 

These hotspot patrols remain a vital part of neighbourhood policing. By focusing on areas with a history of crime or antisocial behaviour, officers can:

- Deter criminal activity through visible presence.

- Reassure the community and build public confidence.

- Respond quickly to emerging issues and gather intelligence.

- Strengthen relationships with local businesses and residents.

- Support long-term problem solving by identifying patterns and working with partners to address root causes.

If you see your local Policing team out and about, please do say hello.
