A neighbourhood policing team (NPT), also sometimes known as safer neighbourhood team (SNT),[1][2] is a small team of police officers and police community support officers (usually 3-10 strong) who are dedicated to policing a certain community or area.[3]
It is a concept developed by the police of the United Kingdom. As of 2010[update], there are 3,600 NPTs throughout the United Kingdom.[3]
This type of policing is designed to make the police more visible, reduce fear and aid interaction between the public and the police, and it aids in local knowledge, gaining intelligence and tip-offs from the public. [3]
