Your Safer Neighbourhood Team
Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) is a group of local police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers and police community support officers (PCSOs) 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 Warwickshire.
You can receive regular updates about what's happening in your local policing area by signing up to our local community messaging service, Warwickshire Connected.
Crimes and priorities

Priority:
ASB and drug crime, voted for by the community on our Warwickshire Connected survey
Action taken:
The team will work alongside other departments and external partners to reduce the sale of drugs within he Town North area of Rugby. Uniformed patrols will be used in our ASB hotspot areas to show a visual police presence and to deter ASB within those areas.
-
Priority:
Retail theft, particularly in and around Junction 1 and Elliot’s Field shopping centres.
Action taken:
Officers will conduct proactive patrols in order to deter retail theft, and also catch those in the act of committing the offence. The police will also work with local business in an effort to "target harden" them to reduce the likelihood of individuals targeting them.
-
Priority:
Road safety (public priority)
Action taken:
This was the most common result within the community survey. This can include parking issues, which is a major issue specifically within the Benn Ward area of Rugby. This has been a constant theme from local councillors, and we are currently working with the council on how to address this issue in the Benn Ward area.
We have also had reports of anti-social driving along the Leicester road, which we are looking at targeting, and I have requested training for the whole team on handheld speed guns to assist with this.

Priority:
Drugs and ASB (police priority)
Action taken:
Operations targeting drug dealing within the Benn Ward area and ASB issues within Junction 1 and Elliott's Field.
