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.
To tell us what you think of your area and what sort of issues you think we should be tackling, take part in Lancashire Talking.

Priority:
Warren Ward residents have also highlighted ASB as a concern.
Action taken:
Op Centurion is Lancashire Police’s answer to ASB, with dedicated patrols in identified areas across Wyre. Specialist antisocial behaviour (ASB) cars are regularly tasked in the Wyre area, including Warren Ward.
Identified hotspots or repeat areas are also discussed with partners at youth and adult ASB meetings.
Wyre NHPT have also made great use of civil orders of late to deal with ASB. Across the Wyre area, this has included Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices, Civil Injunctions, Criminal Behaviour Orders and even Closure Orders at properties causing and linked to ASB and Crime.
Wyre has also seen a steady decline in ASB reported incidents
