Gwent Local Policing Strategy
Our current strategy for local policing is based upon the College of Policing’s guidance for Neighbourhood Policing which you can find at the below link. We have Neighbourhood teams consisting of Inspectors, Sergeants, Constables and CSOs in each of our areas.

County Lines
Our County Lines strategy is based upon good leadership, ensuring appropriate governance and having the capability and capacity to deal with the threat. Tactically, we adopt an approach based upon the principles of “Pursue, Prevent, Protect and Prepare”. This is underpinned by an evidenced-based approach in collaboration with other public sector partners.
