Benwell, Elswick & Leazes
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) is a group of local police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers and PCSOs based in your area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Northumbria.
Area Commander C/Supt Barrie Joisce
‘As Central’s Area Commander I am committed to engaging with our local communities to ensure we understand your priorities so that we can continue to deliver the policing service you need. All Central Area Command staff are determined to protect the vulnerable and provide support to victims. We will continue to achieve this by listening too, and working with local residents and partner organisations to make our neighbourhoods safe for all the community. We will continue to look to problem solve on a local and regional level to ensure that when you help us identify problems we come up with long term solutions. We want you to be confident that as a police service we are listening to your concerns.’
