Your Neighbourhood Team

What are they for?

Neighbourhood Teams cover every ward in the Borough, and are made up of a combination of dedicated beat officers (Neighbourhood Specialist Officers), Police Community Support Officers, Community Safety Wardens and Community Development Workers. Each ward has at least one of these.

How do their roles differ?

Neighbourhood Specialist Officers (NSO) are local police/beat officers and custodians of an area. Wearing a police uniform, NSOs are the only members of the team who are authorised to tackle crime and disorder using prevention and enforcement. They are the only ones who can make arrests. Your NSO works with police colleagues, other local agencies, and the community on local crime reduction and reassurance .

Neighbourhood Policing is about creating Safer Neighbourhoods. It is a system that allows police, local partner organisations and residents to work together to tackle problems of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. Above all it aims to create neighbourhoods that are safe and feel safe.

Surrey Police now has dedicated Neighbourhood Teams in every ward in Guildford Borough.
