A new home for Harpenden Police officers

Dear Resident

I wanted to drop you a line to let you know the exciting news. Harpenden’s neighbourhood policing team is moving to Harpenden Town Hall in Leyton Road.

Moving the neighbourhood policing team to the Town Hall keeps officers at the heart of the community. It also supports modern, efficient ways of working. And delivers better value for money for taxpayers. 

Continuing joint working with the Town Council strengthens local policing in Harpenden.

The Harpenden neighbourhood policing officers will be engaging with the public. And they'll be out and about in the local community responding and solving crime. Which is where residents have told me they want to see their officers.

The base at the Town Hall will serve as a place to complete paperwork and make calls.

Their focus remains the same - keeping the town and surrounding rural areas safe.

We've seen this work in St Albans with the police based out of the Civic Centre district council offices.

Joint working with local councils delivers value for money. And still ensures the police are still based in the town centre.

I’m grateful to Harpenden Town Council for their proactive partnership work on this project with Hertfordshire Constabulary and my Office.

Residents can contact their local officers directly at harpenden@herts.police.uk and make an appointment to see them. If you know the name of your local officer, you can email them directly using this format - first.surname@herts.police.uk  

You can also contact your officers via our website and report incidents online at www.herts.police.uk/report. In an emergency, always dial 999.
