Local Priorities Set - Your voice has been heard

Dear Resident

New local policing priorities set for Dacorum

Thank you for taling the time to complete our priority.Survey. This will form the basis of our key targeted intervemtions over the next three months.

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Dacorum have set their new local policing priorities for the coming months.

NPTs work alongside partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft, speeding and drug-related crime.

Using an analysis of data, they set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern. Feedback from members of the public also plays a vital part.

Residents will see their dedicated team of PCs and PCSOs across Dacorum working alongside partners to address the issues, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement.

During the last period, the following priorities were addressed:

Hemel Hempstead South and Kings Langley

Speed operations have been carried out in locations where residents have highlighted speeding as an issue.

More officers have been trained in the use of mobile speed gun

Regular patrols have been carried out.

The following priorities have been agreed for the coming three months:

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

Alongside the NPT, Dacorum is also policed by officers who respond to emergency calls, a team of detectives who investigate crimes such as burglary, robbery and assault, and specialist units who work to tackle issues such as acquisitive crime and domestic abuse. In addition, they can call on officers from central teams which work countywide.

You can keep up to date with work around the priorities by following us on social media and via the ‘Your Area’ section of the Herts police website.

Kind regards

Simon
