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.

Burglary, vehicle crime and cross boarder offences continue to be a priority in the Rainford area.
Action taken:
Officers have carried out targeted patrols using an unmarked vehicle to identify individuals or vehicles potentially linked to burglary. Encouragingly, burglary incidents have decreased over the past month. High‑visibility patrols have also taken place, focusing on identifying possible access routes into Rainford used by offenders. Officers distributed Faraday pouches and engaged with residents door‑to‑door to raise awareness and promote crime‑prevention measures.
