Trinity — Neighbourhood Policing Team

The neighbourhood team are attending the local schools to provide reassurance. This will be at the start and end of the school day they will also help manage the parking around the school for the safety of pupils.

We are approaching the end of the school year, and our team remains committed to supporting local schools through to the end of term. This year, we have successfully partnered with five primary schools to deliver our Mini Police initiative, which will continue into the next academic year. Our PCSOs maintain a visible presence during school start and finish times, helping to keep students safe. In addition, we have delivered targeted sessions on personal safety, knife crime awareness, and hate crime, equipping young people with the knowledge to make safer choices.

Since January, the Neighbourhood Policing Team has been working hard to tackle ongoing parking problems along Stapleton Road. We know how much these issues affect local residents, businesses, and road users, and we are committed to making the area safer and more accessible for everyone. To support this work, we have teamed up with Bristol City Council’s Parking Services to carry out joint enforcement operations. During an operation on 25 February , officers issued 60 parking tickets to vehicles causing obstruction or parked in restricted areas. A second joint operation on 4 March resulted in 36 further tickets being issued. These efforts are part of our continued focus on improving traffic flow, reducing unsafe parking, and responding to community concerns. As we move into spring, we will continue working closely with our partners to maintain a visible presence and take action where needed. Thank you to everyone who has shared information with us—your reports help us target problem areas and shape our approach.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team remains committed to addressing the ongoing concerns around drug dealing and drug use in our area. This issue affects not only those directly involved but also the wider community, impacting safety, wellbeing, and quality of life. Over the past year, we have taken significant steps to combat this problem. One of the key measures has been increasing patrols in identified hotspot areas. These targeted patrols have helped us disrupt criminal activity, gather intelligence, and provide reassurance to residents. We’ve also worked closely with partner agencies and community organisations to ensure a coordinated approach, because tackling this issue requires more than enforcement—it needs prevention and support. As we move into the Spring, this work will continue. Our officers will maintain a visible presence in problem areas, and we will keep listening to your concerns. Community intelligence is vital, so if you see suspicious activity or have information that could help, please report it to us. Every piece of information, no matter how small, can make a difference. Together, we can make our neighbourhood safer and stronger. Thank you for your ongoing support.

With the warmer weather and longer evenings, we have seen an increase in drug-related activity in and around the Trinity area. In response, patrols have been intensified, supported by additional resources, including mounted units, to provide a stronger and more visible presence. This behaviour is having a significant impact on our parks and green spaces, discouraging residents and families from using areas that should be safe and welcoming for the community. We continue to support our ongoing Love Stapleton Road initiative, which brings together partner agencies, residents, and local businesses to address these issues collaboratively. The next meeting will take place on 9 July at 18:30 at the Easton Christian Centre, and we encourage all interested community members to attend. If you witness any suspicious or concerning activity, please report it via 101 or through the online reporting system. Your information is vital in helping us keep the area safe.
