Peterlee (Wingate) — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Durham Constabulary area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
The neighbourhood police team works closely with the local community to keep the area safe and peaceful. We focus on preventing crime, tackling local issues, and building strong relationships with residents. Our duties often include patrolling the area, supporting vulnerable individuals, working with schools and local groups, and responding to concerns raised by the community. We do this by being visible and approachable.

In an emergency always call 999. For non-emergencies call 101 or use Durham Constabulary's online reporting.

Current priorities
Youth nuisance & Anti Social Behaviour
To tackle this we have been: - Carrying out high visibility patrols along with colleagues from Durham County Council Neighbourhood Wardens Team and ASB Team - We have ASB meetings to discuss ASB suspects with our Durham County Council colleagues and housing provider teams. - Use of Anti-Social Behaviour Contracts (ABCs), Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Community Protection Notices on offenders of ASB
Set: 2026-05-19
Off-road bikes used illegally often cause noise nuisance, danger to pedestrians and damage to local green spaces. Taking these vehicles off the road helps prevent accidents and restores peace in our neighbourhoods. This remains as one of the priorities.
Actions taken by police to address ongoing bike issues include: -High visibility and unmarked patrols in affected areas -Intelligence gathering in partnership with other agencies -Use of secion 59 powers to seize vehicle In recent weeks, officers have seized a Surron bike with the rider being reported for numerous driving offences. We will continue to work proactively to identify and seize further vehicles being used illegally and anti-socially.
