Lichfield District — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
Lichfield is a historic city renowned throughout the world for its amazing three-spired cathedral. Despite the best efforts of Oliver Cromwell’s army, the cathedral has survived down the centuries and every year welcomes thousands of visitors. The area is steeped in history - along with the cathedral, are St Mary’s Church; the childhood home of Dr Samuel Johnson who was born in the city in 1709, and the home of Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin - all now museums. The city centre is a vibrant area for shopping, nightlife, leisure and sightseeing.

Current priorities
Preventing and disrupting vehicle crime as identified from feedback from the community and monitoring crime statistics.
Local officers are actively tackling vehicle crime by working alongside key specialists in criminal investigations, forensics, roads policing and in coordination with neighbouring policing teams and police forces. We are conducting both overt and covert operations to disrupt offending and bring offenders to justice.
