Your safer neighbourhood team
Local policing is at the very heart of what we do – we want Lancashire to be a better place to live, work and visit.
We operate across three ‘divisions’ – East, West and South. Each of these divisions has many specialist officers dedicated to keeping you safe including neighbourhood policing teams.
These consist of Neighbourhood Policing Officers, Task Force Officers, including Rural Task Force Officers, and Police Community Support Officers. They work together with colleagues across the force to tackle local policing priorities and keep our communities safe.
Lancashire is committed to neighbourhood policing and the three pillars that underpin it – engagement, problem-solving and targeting activity.

Priority:
Anti-social Behaviour, Road safety including the use of off road bikes on Moorland.
Action taken:
We are working to establish a town centre working group to target key issues. A visibility plan is in place around the bus station, a repeat location for antisocial behaviour (ASB) and drug dealing. Officers are revisiting ASB victims in these locations and running a series of pop-up events in the town centre to improve engagement with the public.
A series of joint operations are being conducted in partnership with Greater Manchester Police, Traffic Police and Rossendale Borough Council to target the use of illegal offroad bikes both on moorland and through residential areas.
A series of speeding and red light offending operations are planned each month with neighbourhood officers conducting enforcement in key areas.
