Neighbourhood Policing Gurantee

Good Afternoon Ingthorpe,

Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw, has welcomed additional funding from the Home Office to strengthen local neighbourhood policing teams. This will see an additional 53 officers, 30 PCSOs and 20 Special Constables joining Lancashire Constabulary over the coming year to tackle and deter crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Neighbourhood policing is vital to tackling and preventing all forms of crime and anti-social behaviour from shoplifting to violence against women and girls through to serious organised crime and terrorism. Local officers on the ground, in the communities, are the eyes and ears of the public, gathering intelligence which is invaluable in keeping Lancashire safe. We except the first wave of officers to hit our communities in July, keep your eyes peeled for further updates. 

At the moment your local neighbourhood team is:

Sergeant 249 Higgs

PC 3485 Schouteten 

PCSO 7339 Ashworth

PCSO 7340 Jackson

Please feel free to come over to us when you see us out and about. We love to hear from you all and get feedback, good or bad. You can also reply to this message. If you wish to report any crime to us, ring 101 and in an emergency please call 999.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update, and as always, stay safe.
