Neighbourhood Teams comprise Police Officers, PCSOs and Special Constables. The team puts communities – their needs, their issues and their priorities – at the heart of local policing to deliver a sense of security and belonging that communities desire and deserve.

The winner will be a Neighbourhood Team which has provided the community with a highly visible presence and reassurance, and has worked tirelessly with that community to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for all.

Award Criteria for panel short listing:

• A team who, on a day-to-day basis, has personal contact with their local community. They offer visible reassurance to their communities and improve the quality of life of local people.
• The team cuts crime and reduces the fear of crime in their area by gathering intelligence, arresting offenders and providing practical crime prevention advice.
• The team should be seen by the community as an essential element in the life of the neighbourhood, providing a shining example of the difference effective neighbourhood policing can make.
