The policy paper, 'Building Communities, Beating Crime', sets out plans for a new neighbourhood policing fund to support the development of dedicated neighbourhood policing teams across the country. These community-focussed teams of police officers, backed up by police community support officers (PCSOs) and police support staff will use community-based intelligence to tackle local crime. They will be embedded in their local community, tackling the issues of concern to local people and being held to account by those local people, with the community getting new powers to 'trigger' action where their police force, local authority or other community safety partners are not delivering.
