Neighbourhood Policing
What is neighbourhood policing?
Neighbourhood policing is about local policing; police, partners and the community working together to identify and tackle issues of concern in Essex.
Neighbourhood Policing is about creating a team dedicated to each local area. The areas are small and typically will include a sergeant, police constable, police community support officers and special constables. The neighbourhood policing team will work with local partners and residents to make your neighbourhood a safer place.

Each neighbourhood policing team, along with partners, wants to know the community issues which matter to those that live and work in the Rochford District and there are various ways in which they can be contacted; by phone, in the street or attending an event. These issues are then taken to Neighbourhood Action Panels (NAP) meeting.
What is a Neighbourhood Action Panel (NAP)?
A Neighbourhood Action Panel, often referred to as a NAP, is a regular meeting held within a neighbourhood. The panel consists of people who live or work in the neighbourhood or those who provide a service to the local community. The NAPs are run by the Essex Police Neighbourhood Constables. The District is divided up into six Police neighbourhoods; Ashingdon & Canewdon, Rochford, Hockley, Wakering and Hullbridge and an NC is responsible for policing a neighbourhood along with Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
The purpose of the NAP is to have input on issues which matter to those who live and work in the District and these issues are taken to the NAP to consider. The NAP will agree the community priorities and decide upon a realistic and achievable course of action so that results can be delivered that matter to you. Priorities are set by the Community without influence from the Police.
A Neighbourhood Action Panel is held approximately every 4-6 weeks in each of the neighbourhoods. If you are interested in attending, dates and details and the current priorities identified for your area can be found on the Essex Police website in related links below then select the Rochford.
