Over the weekend, the Neighbourhood Policing Team for Rushcliffe South has been engaged in activities centred around the three pillars of Neighbourhood Policing: Engaging the Communities, Problem Solving, and Targeted Activity.
PC Pooley attended the Vale Market Café at Barnstone on Saturday, and Sgt Hodson went to Cotgrave Country Park to speak to the Friends of Cotgrave Country Park on Sunday.
Other members of the team have been out on patrol due to an increase in burglaries over the last two weeks and conducting Op Wheelspin patrols to prevent antisocial and dangerous driving.
This targeted activity, aimed at identified hotspots to prevent crime and identify offenders, contributes to the priorities for the area. Car cruising and the associated complaints about poor driving, racing, noise nuisance, and highway obstruction are being tackled with a force-wide problem-solving plan.
On Saturday, the team from Cotgrave supported West Bridgford team and the Force Intelligence Unit with arrests and searches for a drug importation investigation involving two addresses in West Bridgford.
Drug supply and production is one of the current priorities for Rushcliffe.
