Find out how we can help you

Every area of Scotland has a community policing team.

Your community team works with local partners to:

• listen to your concerns
• solve local problems
• prevent crime before it happens
• provide reassurance and support
• plan policing activities

You can talk to them about:

• issues affecting your neighbourhood
• non-emergencies
• local patrols
• crime prevention advice
• how we work with other local services
• support you can get after an incident
