Rushcliffe's Neighbourhood Policing Inspector has shared some his top priorities for 2023 after certain types of crime become more prominent in the district. Inspector Rob Lawton has been in his role since July 2021, and has years of experience in Nottinghamshire Police, including a former leading role in the city's knife crime team.
As 2022 draws to an end, Inspector Lawton can look back on a "very positive" year for the Rushcliffe team. He said: "Neighbourhood policing teams in Rushcliffe can reflect on a very positive 12 months working with key partners to keep our communities safe.
"An important part of our role is to listen and I have recently updated our priorities after listening to residents and partners across the borough. Our priorities are now speeding and road safety, shop theft and antisocial behaviour in Central Avenue, Bridgford."
