Welcome to this month's newsletter
Welcome to February's newsletter.
Below are just some of the things our team have been up to this month.
You may notice we often speak about visiting local schools and interacting with the children in our newsletters and wonder why this is a part of the role of a neighbourhood officer?
Throughout the year the NPT visit local schools, local groups and individuals in the community to educate them on issues.
Going into schools at such a young age is really key to building positive relationships with the police and is one of the more enjoyable parts of our role!
School talks are part of our intervention work to make young people aware of the consequences of their behaviour.
Please continue to raise any local issues to us via our surveys or be speaking to your local officer.
