Neighbourhood Policing Week is a success!
Last week was National Neighbourhood Policing Week, a week all about shining a light on our fantastic and dedicated neighbourhood policing teams (NPTs).
And what a week it was!
The teams were certainly busy and many of you will have seen or spoken to them, as they visited 89 schools, completed 841 Humber Talking surveys, did 129 hours of patrolling the streets and spoke to over 100 businesses or other partner organisations.
This was on top of the usual enforcement activity, which continued throughout the week with eight warrants, 13 stop searches and 24 arrests.
They’ve also been sharing their great work on social media and have loved seeing the positive responses from the local communities.
Assistant Chief Constable Darren Downs said: “The national week may be over, but our neighbourhood teams aren’t going anywhere.
“They will be out and about this week, and every week, carrying out the same sort of activity as above to ensure that our area remains a brilliant place to live, work and visit.
“Our NPTs have a very specialised and challenging role. They work with a huge range of partners and community groups; tackle crime and anti-social behaviour; reassure those affected by crime; gather intelligence and solve problems; provide crime prevention advice; assess and manage risk; disrupt OCGs.
“They are also often at the heart of our major police operations and give support to other areas of the force whenever called upon.
“They well and truly deserve a week of celebration and I hope that you have enjoyed finding out a bit more about them and about the brilliant work that they do each and every day.
“If you see them out and about stop and say hello and share any concerns or information that you have about crime in your area. They are part of the community and are there to help.”
As part of the week, we also ran features on some of the inspectors in the teams.
Sgt Andy Waller from the Hull North team went out on a ward walk with local journalist Simon Bristow from The Hull Story to talk about what it is like to be an NPT Sergeant and how community working is helping to make our communities feel more supported than ever – read the piece in full here.

In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, chainsaw wood sculpting stands out as a thrilling blend of danger and beauty. Imagine wielding a roaring chainsaw, not to fell trees, but to carve them into stunning works of art. This is not your average hobby; it’s an adrenaline-fueled artistic adventure that dates back to the 1950s.
Chainsaw sculpting transforms ordinary wood into extraordinary masterpieces, pushing the limits of what’s possible with a tool more commonly associated with lumberjacking. But this is no rough-and-tumble trade; it’s a craft requiring precision, skill, and a steady hand, where the risk only heightens the allure.
Local businesses often face a range of challenges, yet some family-owned firms in LIncolnshire have not only survived, but thrived for over a century.
These include the Lincoln-based Witham Group, a major lubricant manufacturer and paint supplier in the UK, and White & Sentance, a notable piano business in Sleaford. We spoke to both firms about the secret to longevity.
