Your Local Neighbourhood Policing Team are primarily involved in ensuring the most vulnerable people in the community are safeguarded from harm, resolving neighbour disputes, tackling anti-social behaviour, repeat victims of crime and educating groups to better stay safe. This often requires partnership working with other professional agencies including housing providers, health representatives and Social Services.

Individual crimes will be allocated to the Response Policing Team or a more specialist team where there are viable lines of enquiry.

Neighbourhood Team is committed to engaging with their communities and regularly hold pop-up sessions and other forms of engagement around the area. Please see the Callington Police Website and dedicated facebook page for details of where they will be visiting next.
