Community Policing: One Team - One Approach
Wiltshire Police introduced the Community Policing model in 2016.
The Community Policing Teams, which are at the heart of the local policing model, build strong connections with our communities which empowers them to solve safety problems with partners at their earliest stages.
In 2019, the organisation critically assessed the CPT frontline model, comparing and contrasting both the local and national picture. As a result, Wiltshire Police conducted a review into how community policing is delivered in our county to make sure it evolves to meet the changing demands on policing in the 21st Century.
