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.

The Neighbourhood Police Team have initiated a high profile and operation in the ward. Additional patrols have been in place and we will be seeking to support victims of this behaviour and identify those responsible. We have been concentrating in the area of Broadway West, Ennis Square, The Fleet and Britannia Place. Several arrests have been made, people charged and some people send to prison.
We are working with Beyond Housing and RCBC ASB Team to protect vulnerable people and working together to tackle organised criminality. We will continue to do this and will be considering house closures as one of the options to stop criminality in the area.
