Alison Invites Inspector Gary Neeves to 10 Downing Street

Alison invited Inspector Gary Neeves, Neighbourhood team leader to a reception at 10 Downing Street in recognition of the hard work of local officers who are all helping make residents feel safe in their community.

Neighbourhood Policing is based on teams who work within specific locations or "neighbourhoods". They provide reassurance and accessibility through a consistent visible presence. They also have a good knowledge of the area, its community and any issues or problems associated with it. They work with the community and partner agencies to address long term issues that affect people's quality of life.

The latest MORI survey shows 71% of local residents trust the police with 69% of residents saying they feel safe walking alone at night.

Every two years MORI undertake an independent household survey of all 39 New Deal for Communities (NDC) Partnerships in the country. This year’s survey of the Devonport NDC also showed 85% of those residents surveyed say their quality of life is good or fairly good, with 79% saying the NDC programme has improved the area.

All crime related areas from the survey have shown improvement visit www.devon-cornwall.police.uk.
