The geographic policing areas will be headed by Superintendent Andrea Baxter (City) and Superintendent Ian Roberts (County).Įach neighbourhood area will also include dedicated schools officers to deliver sessions on topics such as antisocial behaviour, cyber security, online abuse and bullying, along with other topics that are of specific interest or relevance to that area. You, the public, will see the benefit of the geographic focus with dedicated area commanders overseeing the neighbourhood policing teams, response officers, integrated offender management, prisoner handling teams, and detectives that include a dedicated burglary team. The plan also recognises public concerns about issues such as knife crime and crime in rural areas, with investment towards resources and equipment for both, alongside providing dedicated teams to target prison investigations, modern slavery, cyber crime and mental health triage. Many of the principles of the structure have come about following the Police and Crime Commissioner's Police and Crime Plan announced in early 2018, providing an additional £2.8 million for our 2018/19 budget to be invested in 80 additional officers. The structure also re-affirms the earlier commitment made by the Chief Constable, and Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping to increase the number of frontline constables with many of the additional officers being committed to supporting elements of the new structure. The current structure for Nottinghamshire Police’s local policing and crime command has been in effect since Tuesday 2 April 2018.įollowing a period of consultation internally and with key strategic partners and stakeholders, Chief Constable Craig Guildford approved the proposal to move towards a more geographic force model that provides dedicated policing services for the city and county, based in the communities they serve.
Our job is to protect the public and keep Nottinghamshire a safe place for people to live and work in and visit.
