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.

Priority:
Off road bike related ASB in green areas/housing estates
Action taken:
In April, May, June we received 2, 18 and 3 calls respectively regarding off road bikes in the Stainsby Hill Ward.
The volume of calls regarding the anti-social use of motorbikes in rural and urban areas has increased dramatically throughout the UK since lockdown ended. Unfortunately, research shows that the volume of calls is continuing to increase. Whilst not every force suffers with the same level of problems, forces which are considered to have similar demographics to our own have seen considerable rises in calls for service relating to bikes. Operation Endurance is Cleveland Police's ongoing enforcement, prevention and partnership campaign to reduce the harm caused by off-road bikes and e-bikes, improve community safety, and disrupt those using bikes for anti-social behaviour or criminal activity. The dedicated Cleveland Police bike task force have seized 75 bikes county wide since being created in June 2026. -
Priority:
Criminal Damage
Action taken:
Criminal damage remains a concern within Stainsby Hill, with 10 offences recorded in April, 12 in May and 9 in June. In response, Cleveland Police will continue to conduct targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations, increase engagement with residents to gather local intelligence, and work closely with partner agencies to identify and address the causes of repeat incidents. Offenders will be robustly investigated and, where appropriate, enforcement action taken to reduce offending and improve community confidence.
