Recommendation 38
38
Paragraph: 86
Neighbourhood policing repeatedly side-lined and undermined by operational abstractions and other actions.
Conclusion
There was widespread agreement among our witnesses that neighbourhood work was the bedrock of policing. But too often it is side-lined by abstractions or otherwise undermined, for example where officers are taken away from their usual duties to respond to emergency situations, or the actions of non-territorial squads undermining the trust built up by local teams.
