Chasetown — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
Before the discovery of coal in the area in the 19th century, Chasetown and neighbouring Chase Terrace did not exist. Today the area is home to thousands of people as well as small to medium sized businesses. Its location, close to the new M6 Toll, the A5 and the M6, makes it the perfect choice for people looking to live within easy striking distance of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Local people are still proud of the area's mining heritage reflected through a strong historical society and the former Chasetown Mining College - now a community centre. There are new leisure facilities including a swimming pool and plenty of parks and open spaces.

Current priorities
Preventing and disrupting drug offences.
Local officers are targeting drug dealers the harms associated with the exploitation of vulnerable people and county lines drug dealing. We are doing this by actively developing community intelligence and conducting overt and covert policing activity alongside specialist proactive units. Local officers are also working in partnership with other agencies to improve the support provided to tackle addiction in the community.
