Your local team
Our ambition is to provide a neighbourhood policing service of which you, and we, can be proud. Prevention will be at the heart of our work, through well-informed collaborative problem-solving, building participation and strengthening the communities we serve. We will remain part of those communities, known and accessible to you, and policing in a way that both prevents harm and enhances your trust in us.
Our approach is shaped by five key themes: accessibility, prevention, relationships, vulnerability, relationships and partnerships. These will underpin all areas of our service and form the basis of our neighbourhood policing offer.

Priority:
There is a reported rise in fraud and scam based offences in our area. We have seen a rise in increasingly sophisticated methods by fraudsters to try and carry out scams on people, notably regarding scams carried out via social media apps.
Action taken:
To try and combat these scams the Boston Rural West NPT will be holding a number of scam awareness events throughout our beat area. We will be attending coffee mornings and activity groups with advice and educational sessions as well as holding our own engagement events to raise the public’s awareness of the issue and to try and prevent them becoming victims of these scams.
