Your neighbourhood team
Our Neighbourhood Policing Teams are proud to police the area of Cleveland, which covers the districts of Hartlepool, Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.
These teams are made up of police officers, police community support officers and special constables, and are supported by officers from other departments. They work to prevent crime, protect communities, tackle criminals and make sure those intent on causing our communities harm are stopped.
Our officers often run community drop-in events, and work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to shape our policing priorities for the area and find solutions to community problems.

Anti Social Behaviour - Normanby

Greater Eston Neighbourhood Team continue to work towards deterring antisocial behaviour in the Normanby area. We have dedicated PCSO’s on patrol routes across Normanby to tackle crime and work with partners such as Redcar and Cleveland Council to ensure that the local minority of people who are causing this ASB are held to account. We also work closely with schools in the area. Officers are continuing to issue AS13’s to those causing antisocial behaviour and disrupting the community. Our focus will continue to build our intelligence identifying locations to disrupt those causing anti social behaviour.

Priority:
Criminal use of bikes - Normanby
Action taken:
Normanby
Greater Eston Neighbourhood Team are continuing to tackle off road bikes in the Normanby area especially around Flatts Lane Country Park. We currently have ongoing talks with the MATRIX team to consider new options on tackling individuals who use off road bikes illegally. We relay of information from members of the public to inform us where this is occurring and act on that information. I continue to urge the members of the community to provide information that will be held in confidence and never shared outside the Police environment. We are running specific operations that target these individuals such as Endurance and Checkpoint. We have carried out these operations where we have managed to successfully remove quads and bikes from various locations due to support from the community. We have dedicated and monitored patrol routes during our operations. Our focus will continue to build our intelligence identifying locations to target unlawful off-road bike owners. We are looking at new tactics soon to tackle off road motor bikes so we can hopefully have more success moving forward as technology improves.

Priority:
Drug dealing
Action taken:
We have listened to your concerns about drug dealing taking place. We have dedicated patrol plans in place with regards to the drug dealing you are reporting in the community. We have gathered intelligence and continue to arrest offenders with some successful drug seizures within your community within the last 3 months. These include the ordering of drugs from outside the UK where tenants who accept such packages have triggered the first steps in removing them from their home and the community if they continue. They have seized this activity and the disruption tactics used by the police and council are working.
We have applied for and successfully attained several drugs warrants and will continue to act on information received about drug dealing in your streets. I encourage anyone who witnesses this or has information to contact the police. Your information will be kept confidential and although the information will be shared with partners, rest assured, the persons details who provide this information will not be shared with anyone. We welcome any reports involving drug dealing within your ward area which may assist us to tackle this particular crime even if reported anonymously.
