Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is a group of Merseyside police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Merseyside.

Priority:
Scrambler and e-bikes use in the area for drug supply and causing anti-social behaviour
Action taken:
Local policing officers continue to work cross border with neighbouring forces to combat issues with off-road bike ASB and drug dealing. Investigations led to the identification and arrest of a male from the Billinge area committing offences in Greater Manchester on a off-rode bike and returning to the area. He is currently on bail for possession with intent to supply following enquiries into suspected stolen motorbikes at an address in Billinge.

Priority:
Scrambler and e-bikes use in the area for drug supply and causing anti-social behaviour continues to be a priority
Action taken:
Officers have conducted regular high visibility and covert patrols to deter the use of off road bikes in the area and increase intelligence around drug dealing to support future warrant applications. Officers will continue to work in partnership to combat this issue.

Priority:
Scrambler bike during the weekend period causing anti-social behaviour continues to be a priority for the area
Action taken:
Local policing officers, newly assigned to the area following the recent force restructure and uplift at Newton‑le‑Willows Police Station, have been focusing on familiarising themselves with the community, key locations, and the individuals involved in these issues.
As lighter evenings and summer months approach, officers will be increasing their proactive patrols and working to develop intelligence around those responsible for persistent nuisance riding. This includes identifying hotspots, gathering information from residents, and building a clearer picture of the offenders who continue to blight the community. This intelligence‑led approach will support future enforcement activity and targeted problem‑solving to reduce the impact on local people. -
