Neighbourhood Policing Teams
Within West Yorkshire Police, there is an operational focus on Neighbourhood Policing. The three 'aims' of Neighbourhood Policing are as follows:
- Dedicated and accountable teams with local ownership
- Intelligence-led targeting of the problems that matter most to the public
- Joint action by police, partner agencies and the public
Each division has a number of Neighbourhood Policing Teams, consisting of an Inspector; who is in turn in charge of three teams, headed by a Sergeant and made up of Police Constables, PCSOs and Special Constables. The three teams work in a shift pattern so that the neighbourhood will always have a Neighbourhood Policing Team on duty.

Famous quotes containing the words policing and/or teams:
“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
