Neighbourhood Policing: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's plan to include a named, contactable police officer in each neighbourhood, how her Department defines neighbourhood.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
As part of the Government’s Safer Streets mission, the Home Secretary has made a clear commitment to strengthen neighbourhood policing through the introduction of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee. This will set out what communities can expect from neighbourhood policing teams in every local area including intelligence-led and visible patrols.
The Home Office is working closely with policing and other key stakeholders to implement the Guarantee, and is clear that everyone, wherever they are in the country, will benefit from it and will have a named officer to contact when things go wrong.
