Uttoxeter Rural — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
This mainly rural area runs north along the valley of the River Dove following the A50 trunk road from Uttoxeter to Mayfield on the edge of the Peak District. The Dove forms the eastern border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire and the valley is home to the villages of Stramshall, Rocester, Denstone, Ellestone, Wootton, Stanton and Mayfield. The area is also the home of one of the county's largest employers, the internationally known JCB Excavators, whose world headquarters are at Rocester.

Current priorities
Rural crime.
We are increasing our knowledge and capability of our local policing team by adding more specialist rural and wildlife officers. We will also be using the Rural Crime Team to follow-up on reports of serious acquisitive crime and investigate them positively.
Set: 2025-05-31
Anti-social behaviour that is negatively affecting residents, businesses, and public spaces.
We will be increasing our police presence in ASB hotspots such as parks and residential areas and responding swiftly to reports of nuisance behaviour, harassment, and public disturbances.
Set: 2025-08-28
Anti-social use of vehicles
Over the next three months, we’re prioritising action on anti-social vehicle use and speeding in our community. This includes tackling vehicles with loud exhausts, dangerous driving, and speeding that puts lives at risk. You’ll see more high-visibility patrols in hotspot areas, targeted checks on vehicles, and enforcement against those breaking the law. We’ll also work in partnership with local authorities and road safety teams to reduce harm and keep our streets safe for everyone.
Set: 2025-11-30
Anti-social use of vehicles
During the next three months the neighbourhood policing team will focus on dealing with speeding, problematic parking and congestion, all identified by the community as pressing concerns. We will concentrate on areas where unsafe driving, obstructive parking and traffic build-ups are creating hazards and disrupting daily life, using visible patrols, firm enforcement and information from residents to identify offenders and improve safety, traffic flow and confidence across the affected locations.
