The aim of Neighbourhood Policing is to have a dedicated policing team in our local community.
Wiltshire Police want to make a positive difference to our quality of life by dealing with day-to-day issues of crime and disorder, such as anti-social behaviour, graffiti, speeding, vandalism and problems with neighbours.
Local people tackling local issues
The Community Beat Manager for the Bourne Valley is PC Alan Day. He is based at Amesbury Police Station and responsible for the Amesbury (Rural) Neighbourhood Police Team - which includes The Bourne Valley. He is supported in his work by PCSOs William Todd and Shona Maycock as police community support officers.
Consultation with the local community is at the heart of successful neighbourhood policing and it is this engagement that will determine the priorities for the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT)
and partner agencies. As a result each NPT has identified the main priorities for their neighbourhood and these are listed in the current Neighbourhood Watch Bulletin (see foot of page)
