Get involved |
| You can get involved with helping us to make your neighbourhood safer by telling us the issues that you think need to be addressed by attending one of your local partnership meetings. |
| Method of engagement | How to find out more |
Mobile Police Station Used as an alternative for members of the public to report or discuss crime and other issues of concerns in their area to Police, without having to attend the Police Station. The Mobile Police Station is clearly identified so if you see it in your area, please feel free to call in and speak with one of your neighbourhood officers. | Contact your local neighbourhood team |
Community Surgeries Waterside Urban NPT meet on a regular basis with their respective community representatives and statutory agencies to identify and help address any neighbourhood issues you may have. They also attend the Interface meetings, Waterside Safety Forum meetings and Waterside Area Partnership meetings. |

Safe Shop Scheme Designed to educate retailers in the area on a range of issues from employee safety to how to deal with shop-lifters and anti-social behaviour on their premises. | Contact your local neighbourhood team who will make a referral to the co-ordinator. |
Drive FM Radio A member of the NPT office attends Drive FM Radio once a month to discuss what we do and talk about any issues that have arisen within the community. | See www.drive105.co.uk for more details. |

You said | We did |
| Reduce Anti-social behaviour | With the help of the community, we are able to identify suspected offenders in order to address the issue of anti-social behaviour. We have responded to reports from the public and as a result, have noticed a reduction in the reports of anti-social behaviour and youths causing annoyance. This is partnered with the neighbourhood team actively involved in the various diversionary programmes held in the community centres and youth clubs, e.g. Policing & Communities Together (PACT). CASE (Citizenship And Safety Education) workshops continue to be delivered in the local participating schools addressing topics such as Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, Internet Safety and Knife Crime. All topics involved giving advice to participants about the legal, physical, social and medical implications of substance and alcohol misuse. |
Address Underage Drinking | ‘Op Snapper’ is an ongoing operation throughout the city, targeting underage drinking. This includes police patrols / presence in the local hotspot areas and regular visits to local off-licences outlining the importance of checking ID. |
| General Crime | Local neighbourhood officers continue to conduct high visibility patrols and engage with members of the public to identify concerns within their community. An information leaflet is being distributed, listing all NPT officers names, contact number and the area covered. It also includes contact numbers for reporting emergencies and non-emergencies, as well as an office number should anyone wish to speak with a specific neighbourhood officer. |
| Drugs and their impact on our community | ‘Op Silent Guardian’ was recently introduced whereby a leaflet drop was delivered in the Waterside area. Police officers personally delivered these information leaflets to help build and strengthen relationships with their local areas. By speaking with the community on a one-to-one basis, information was received resulting in drug searches, arrests and prosecutions. |
| Road Safety | ‘Op School Gate’ was conducted whereby adults were provided with leaflets advising them on road safety for their child’s age-group. A visible police presence is also there at key times with local schools, re: parking, crossings. |
| Community matters | Letters were sent to all the schools outlining the services with CASE and inviting schools to participate. NPT officers attended various community fun days, providing a high visibility presence with the mobile police station, bikes, etc. |
| Hate Crime | Increased patrols, joint initiatives with community groups, community wardens, arrests, zero tolerance approach, planned operations, work with victims for suitable resolutions, continued support for victims and follow-up initiatives with the schools if children are involved. |
