👮🏼‍♂️👮🏼 Safer Neighbourhood Team - Do you know what our role is? 👮🏼‍♀️👮🏼‍♂️

The Safer Neighbourhood Team here at Ripley and the surrounding areas are made up of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers, Police Sergeants and a Neighbourhood Investigation Officer.

Our role as SNT is to work within a specific area, (we cover Ripley, Codnor and Waingroves) and our priorities are preventing crime, tackling anti-social behaviour and building long-term solutions to local safety concerns.

Unlike our amazing response officer's who handle immediate 999 emergencies, SNT focus on proactive, community-focused policing within a specific area.

What are our core responsibilities?

👮🏼‍♀️ Tackling anti-social behaviour - We address local issues like nuisance behaviour, environmental damage and low-level disorder. We work with partner agencies and use community protection powers.
🫱🏽‍🫲🏽Community Engagement - We hold regular local meetings, listening to resident concerns and tailoring policing priorities alongside community panels. We also analyse data and collaborate with our partner agencies to come up with solutions to problems.
🚸 School Engagements - We go into schools and provide education from an early age. In return, we have already seen lots of the children during the Summer holidays who remember us from visiting school #PositiveEngagement
🔍 Intelligence and Crime Prevention - We gather local intelligence, conducting high-visibility patrols and help run preventative schemes like Shop Watch.
🫂 Safeguarding Vulnerable People - We identify and support vulnerable individuals and repeat offenders to reduce crime and prevent victimisation.

This is just some of what the Safer Neighbourhood Team are involved with in the local community.

While you may see us holding our local events which enable residents in the area to come and see us face to face, we have our response officers working hard, attending 999 emergencies.

If you'd like to know more about what we do or would like to let us know about any issues in your area, please come along to one of our regular engagements and speak to us.
