City Centre — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Robbery is a key priority for our local officers, and ensuring that the City Centre is a safe environment for everyone motivates them.

Local officers including our Op Taurus Team are actively engaged in a number of overt and covert policing operations. Utilising such skills as Servator; and working under the operation name ICEFORGE. They deploy on a daily basis in key locations. We are further supported by our colleagues from the CID Robbery Team who are key stakeholders to ensure that our operational activities are driven through the criminal justice processes achieving the best outcome for the public. This is ongoing.
