|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Cause of concern: The force needs to make sure that neighbourhood police officers and police community support officers aren’t diverted away from their main duties to deal with other areas of demand. Recommendation: By 30 September 2024, Nottinghamshire Police should: • make sure that it has a policy that sets out the minimum amount of time its neighbourhood officers and staff must spend in their local communities. This policy should explain the reasons why, and for how long, neighbourhood officers can be taken away from their main duties. • make sure that it has a system to monitor the amount of time, and reasons why, officers are taken away from their main neighbourhood duties. | Nottinghamshire Police | Completed |
