Acting on community concerns and targeting organised crime is a priority for all ten of our local policing teams.

Criminals operating as part of these sophisticated networks are often linked to the exploitation of vulnerable people in the local community. We want to target them proactively and support those who fall victim to organised groups. 

If you notice something suspicious in your area, you can call us on 101 or message us on Live Chat.

If it’s an emergency, always ring 999.
