Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
Wiltshire Police is divided into ten Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs). Each NPT is led by an inspector and comprises of sergeants, police constables (PCs), police community support officers (PCSOs) and is supported by additional officers from the wider area to help serve the community and keep you safe.
The teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to identify policing priorities. This collaborative approach helps develop long-term solutions to local issues.

Disruption to drug supply and associated addresses
Action taken:
Pewsey continues to prioritise the disruption of drug supply networks and the identification of addresses linked to drug-related activity. This includes targeting individuals involved in the distribution of controlled substances, safeguarding vulnerable residents, and working with partners to address properties being used for criminal exploitation, such as “cuckooing.” Through proactive policing, intelligence-led operations, and community engagement, the aim is to reduce harm, prevent exploitation, and improve safety and confidence within the local community.
