What role can Neighbourhood Policing play in tackling criminal damage?
• Neighbourhood policing teams engage with their local community to establish local priorities and are tasked with tackling those issues that re important to that particular community. Therefore, if criminal damage is highlighted as an issue that the community would like addressed then Neighbourhood Policing Teams could be involved. As neighbourhood policing rolls out, local communities are being provided with increased opportunities to contact their neighbourhood policing team to discuss their concerns. • More information about neighbourhood policing can be found on the programme website. Also on the website is the Neighbourhood Policing Partnership Guide. We have developed a briefing note, aimed at neighbourhood policing teams, highlighting the importance of tackling criminal damage to achieve safer neighbourhoods.
