Sholing
Your Local Bobby is the neighbourhood policing officer dedicated to your area.
They will identify threat, harm and risk to tackle local issues and protect the community. They will investigate local crimes and collect intelligence, working closely with partner agencies to identify the best problem solving approach.
They are supported by Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Neighbourhood Enforcement Teams, District Police Teams (response officers), Missing Locate Teams, Priority Crime Teams, local investigation teams and specialist functions investigating serious violence, child abuse and organised crime.
Expect your Local Bobby to be highly visible in the community, listening to your concerns and addressing root causes of crime.
While your Local Bobby is your local community contact, should you need an immediate police response or wish to report a crime always contact us either online (www.hampshire.police.uk), via 101 or 999 if an emergency.
