Jesmond and Heaton — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Local policing team in the Northumbria Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.

All Northumbria Police neighbourhoods

Newcastle is world-renowned for its nightlife, culture, heritage and sporting venues. Its suburbs are largely residential and Newcastle is also one of the most diverse areas in our force. We have police bases in the city centre, the West End, Byker and Etal Lane, plus a team stationed within the international airport

Contact the team

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

Current priorities

Overnight vehicle crime

We are managing known offenders linked to vehicle crime and enhancing investigations by revisiting incidents to identify any further lines of enquiry, including CCTV. Officers are conducting directed patrols in high-risk areas based on crime-pattern analysis, with support from specialist units such as traffic and dog teams where needed.

Set: 2026-05-20

Shop Theft

We are taking robust action against repeat shoplifters, improving investigations with further CCTV enquiries, and providing dedicated support to the most affected stores. Dispersal powers and Criminal Behaviour Order applications are being used to manage offender behaviour. Partnership work has secured two new CCTV cameras, and staff are receiving ongoing crime-prevention and evidence-gathering guidance.

Set: 2026-05-20

Anti-social behaviour

Neighbourhood officers attend Residents’ Association meetings and run termly multi-agency drop-ins at the Cricket Club. Resources have been adjusted to ensure more officers are available during peak anti-social behaviour (ASB) times. We work closely with the universities and local authority to spot and address emerging issues quickly. Operation Oak continues to tackle ASB alongside safeguarding work. Targeted patrols focus on the most affected areas, with increased visibility planned around major events.

Set: 2026-05-20
