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.

Action taken:
Burglary prevention remains a key priority across the area. We are committed to reducing offences, increasing patrol visibility, and supporting residents in keeping their homes, farms, and businesses secure.
Our focus includes:
Targeted high visibility patrols in areas affected by recent reports.
Rural crime prevention advice, including security assessments for isolated properties, farms, and outbuildings.
Proactive investigations to identify offenders travelling into our area and disrupt organised criminal groups targeting rural properties.
We encourage residents to report anything unusual at the earliest opportunity and to make use of crime prevention measures such as good-quality locks, lighting, CCTV, and secure storage for tools and machinery.
