Intelligence - Led Patrols

When the Safer Neighbourhood Team are out on patrol across the ward they are usually led by intelligence in a specific area. Meaning that we use information from residents, businesses or reports/previous incidents to decide where we focus our efforts. Patrols are not random - but targeted at locations, times and issues that matter the most.

Even small incidents - a discarded item, unusual behaviour etc. Helps us spot trends, the more intel the better we can:

When you report a concern, it directly influences our patrol planning. We encourage you to keep sharing your observations as they really make a difference.
