Your neighbourhood team is based in the community at Marlborough Street Police Station and has a great deal of experience in neighbourhood policing.

The team, known locally as the Bobbies on the Beat team are partly funded by the Devonport Regeneration Community Partnership (DRCP) which was formed in 2001 with a government grant of £48.73 million to improve facilities and quality of life in the area. There are therefore a higher number of officers serving the community than is usual.

The team works closely with the DRCP and other agencies to bring about a safer community and make and maintain contact with residents and local groups to improve relations between the police and the community.

We provide a presence so that you are able to identify with our local officers and we put structures in place which enable your community to feel confident about being able to report crime and other incidents.

    About Your Neighbourhood

    Devonport from the area

    Devonport and Mount Wise are situated on the western side of Plymouth and bounded by the River Tamar and Devonport dockyard.

    Your neighbourhood is very fortunate in it became the subject of a government-funded regeneration project in 2001.

    Under the government’s New Deal for Communities programme, £48.73 million was awarded to the Devonport community and the programme due to continue until 2011.

    Demolition of some old housing has taken place and the new building of mixed developments is ongoing, improving the appearance and safety of the community.

    The area is mainly residential with a large proportion of council-owned property. There are two shopping centres, Marlborough Street and Cumberland Street. Devonport is also the home of Plymouth Albion rugby club, situated at Brickfields.

    Access to Plymouth city centre is good via the A374 and Torpoint Ferries crosses the River Tamar to Devonport providing a busy link to Cornwall.

    Working in partnership

    As your local neighbourhood police team, we know only too well that tackling crime and anti-social behaviour is not just a job for the police.

    Besides relying heavily on the co-operation of the local community, we also work very closely with various partner organisations and individuals in the city.

    We have a particularly close working relationship with a wide range of staff from many different departments of Plymouth City Council who are invaluable in terms of helping us make your neighbourhood a safer and better place to be.

    For example we rely on the Council’s Anti Social Behaviour Unit for specialist help in securing ASBOs, court injunctions and drug den closures.

    We work alongside this unit and local housing officers in any cases where residents may be evicted from their homes.

    When it comes to common problems such as graffiti, littering, dog fouling and noisy neighbours, we join forces with the Council’s Environmental Protection Team to deal with offenders.

    And in dealing with young people who are either causing trouble in their local communities - or are likely to get drawn into anti social behaviour - we team up with the Youth Offending Service, various other Council youth services and local schools.
