| Links with Registered Social Landlords | We work closely with all the social landlords gathering information on crime matters, intelligence creation, and also submit a section in their resident’s newsletter. The emphasis being that we would like every resident of our area, to be aware of who we are, and how to contact us. |

| Ad-hoc community events |
We attend any community event we can usually taking the mobile police station, we encourage children to do ‘colouring a police picture’ at a table we set up outside the mobile, this we've found to be very successful in conversing with parents who'd normally not engage, as well as working with younger people. |
