Cumbria Constabulary aims to provide improved access to neighbourhood policing information with a new online postcode search facility.
The facility is simple to use and available from the homepage of www.cumbria.police.uk – the force's website.
The facility will direct people to policing information specific to their post code and details of their local neighbourhood policing te
ams, including names and pictures of their community police officers, PCSOs and local Inspectors. It also provides details of community meetings, local policing priorities and performance updates.
The neighbourhood pages also provide a link to an online survey, where people are invited to tell the police about what they think the priority should be in their neighbourhood, how they think the force is performing and whether they are experiencing any issues with crime or anti-social behaviour in their area.
The results of these surveys will provide valuable information that will enable neighbourhood policing teams to identify their priorities and start tackling them with targeted neighbourhood policing.
Assistant Chief Constable Neil Rhodes said: "Cumbria Constabulary is focused on neighbourhood policing, and our ultimate aim is for every member of the community in Cumbria to know who their neighbourhood police officer is and what the policing priority is in their area.
"We want people to feel confident in approaching our officers to share their views on policing in their neighbourhood and we want to build strong relationships with communities so that we can work together to cut crime and anti-social behaviour.
