Services we offer

We strive to tackle crime and improve public safety by patrolling the streets, investigating crime and listening to your concerns.

We’ve dedicated teams of officers to specific small areas known as neighbourhoods. Within each of these teams is a police officer who is on hand to listen to your concerns.

You can find out how to meet your Neighbourhood Specialist Officer and read about what they’re doing to help your community in My Neighbourhood.

Here are just a few of the other services we offer:
