Our neighbourhoods matter

Welcome to Neighbourhoods Matter – our new community messaging and engagement service.

This free-to-use service gives you closer access to your local neighbourhood policing team, enabling you to receive timely updates on local incidents and crime trends, find out more about upcoming events and have your say on local policing priorities.

On registering, you’ll be given the opportunity to choose the type of update you’d like to receive – whether that’s crime prevention advice, news of recent events, or even alerts from partners like Neighbourhood Watch and Action Fraud.

You can also provide feedback and complete surveys through the link to let your neighbourhood policing team know about what matters most to you and how we can work together to keep our communities safe.

Just bear in mind, while our officers are here 24/7 to protect you, the service isn’t a live crime reporting tool. So, if you need our assistance, please continue to use the dedicated channels that we already have via our website, the 101 telephone service, our social media channels or email to report a crime. If it’s an emergency, always dial 999.

If it’s an emergency, always dial 999.
