Based at Rugby Police Station, the Rugby Rural North Safer Neighbourhood Team focus on providing a dedicated support and resolution role, working with partner agencies and individuals within the community to identify and solve concerns that affect their locality.

Our policing area has strategic road links with the M6, A5 and M69 passing through. Local officers, with support tackle the criminals that travel those routes with a view to making communities safer from the threat of harm. The area is mostly made up of rural and village communities which bring their own unique demands.

We focus work around high risk and prolific offenders and our Neighbourhood Teams will:

• Engage with communities and partners to innovate, identify opportunities and create sustainable solutions to local problems. • Work with partners and communities to tackle the harm caused by crime and anti-social behaviour. • Be visible, accessible and accountable to local communities. • Engage with the Community Forum process and address priority concerns. • Seek to identify those at most risk of harm and support them through appropriate interventions. • Engage with young people and deliver prevention and © Crown Copyright and database right 2016.
