Your Community Policing Team
Wiltshire police is split into eight Community Policing Teams (CPTs). Each CPT is led by an inspector and made up of sergeants, PCs, PCSOs and is supported by additional officers from the wider area to help serve the community and help keep you safe.
Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Priority:
Non dwelling burglaries
Action taken:
We have continued to carry out a number of proactive operations throughout the summer months, with our colleagues from Dorset, Hampshire and BPT Police. These proactive operations will continue to disrupt possible offending and gathering intelligence where possible.

Priority:
Community Speed Watch
Action taken:
Officers from the neighbourhood and response teams have continued to support our CSW colleagues where possible out in the community going into 2023.
In the local area, over the last month, Community Road Safety and Speed Enforcement Officers caught 43 vehicles speeding in 30mph zones which feature pedestrians, dog walkers and cyclists.
The fastest vehicle was captured travelling at 47 MPH.
Depending on previous convictions and history, 42 will be offered a speed awareness course and 1 will be given a £100 fine and receive 3 penalty points.
Proceedings will now be undertaken to ensure the most appropriate outcome for the offenders takes place.
-
Priority:
School Visits
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood team will be conducting regular schools visits and will continue to deliver schools talks on topics such as dangers of drug use, knife crime and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB).
-
Priority:
Vulnerability Patrols / Closure Notices.
Action taken:
Officers are conducting regular visits to our identified vulnerable people to both reassure them following reported concerns and to deter visits by criminals who wish to exploit them.
We have been working closely with Wiltshire Council Housing on evidence to support several injunctions which we have now got in place. These premises are visited regularly by the teams to provide support to those who are most vulnerable.
