The local beat manager is Police Community Support Officer Owen Reeves (contact details below).

Crime reporting should always go through formal channels: 999 during a live incident/emergency, 101 for new crime reports after an incident or you can access the online reporting service here www.hampshire.police.uk/ro/report/ The team are unable to accept new reports via email or mobile.
