Neighbourhood Watch & Local Police

TEST VALLEY RURAL POLICE

 

Leaving aside the likes of CID and Intelligence, there are two levels of “Local Policing”. The Response teams are based at Hedge End and Andover. These are the officers who respond to 999 calls and the more urgent matters reported via 101. In the limited time between calls, they patrol areas based on intelligence and crime patterns. Alongside that there are the Neighbourhood teams, which is where we come in. Andover and Romsey towns are policed by their own neighbourhood teams. The Rural area, in-between and surrounding the two towns, is covered by us, the Test Valley Rural Team. We investigate local crime matters, work with partner agencies to solve problems and patrol hot spot areas. See link above
