Milwich,Chartley,Haywood,Hixon — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
Located to the east of Stone, this area has a rural character but also includes densely populated areas in the expanding villages of Hixon, Little and Great Haywood, Brocton, Tixall, Ingestre, Hilderstone, Hopton, Weston, Salt, Sandon, Gayton and outlying villages. It is home to part of Cannock Chase which offers excellent leisure opportunities including cycling, fishing, walking and shooting. Historic Shugborough Hall is a venue for a number of open air classical concerts and is a centre for teaching outdoor activities and water sports.

Current priorities
Sheep worrying and theft of cattle.
We have held engagement events at a farm in Hixon with BASC to improve relationships in the rural community and upskilled our rural and wildlife officers. Patterns and trends have been shared across the wider teams and we are holding more visits to our farms to offer farm surveys. Our website will soon be launching the rural and wildlife platform for these type of crimes to be reported and we will continue to meet with our wider partners every three months. No offender has been identified at this time, but we will continue to monitor this. Updates will be provided to partners of the the rural crime group to raise awareness and report any further issues.

We've had an increase of reports of e-bikes and e-scooters causing a nuisance in Baswich and Weeping Cross for other members of the community trying to use the pavements and park areas.
A request has been made to the Road Crime Team to support our local officers in this area. PCSOs have been asked to go into the local schools providing safety advise to young people and remind them of the laws around e-bikes and e-scooters.

We've had an increase in reports from our communities around ASB/Neighbour disputes and are working closely with local council and wider partners to make life safer and more peaceful. Please continue to report any further incidents
