Constabulary

Whether it’s anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, burglary, speeding, bike theft or anything else, they want to meet local people to hear their concerns and help find solutions to any problems.

Chief Inspector Paul Rogerson, who leads on neighbourhood policing, said: ‘Neighbourhood policing is at the heart of everything we do and building trust and confidence with our communities is vital in helping us to prevent crime and bring offenders to justice.

‘We want to ensure our neighbourhood teams are accessible to, responsible for and accountable to their communities.’

In January last year (2022), the Constabulary launched a new engagement model which gives every resident in Cambridgeshire the opportunity to have their say via a quarterly survey, and meet their neighbourhood officers on a quarterly basis to discuss any concerns and help shape the policing priorities for the coming quarter.

‘We would also welcome your attendance at the quarterly engagement meetings which are listed above. They take place on a Tuesday evening from 7pm and usually last about an hour.

‘The meetings give you the opportunity to meet your local neighbourhood officers virtually and hear what the teams have been working on over the past three months. The findings of the survey are also presented before we open the virtual room to residents to put any question or concern they wish forward for a response. Before we finish the meeting, we agree on priorities for the coming three months.’
