Inspector Mick Preston said, “As part of a long planned visit, the Police and Crime
Commissioner (PCC) Mark Burns Williamson visited East Leeds Neighbourhood Policing
Team to see the ongoing hard work of the team and pro-activity, targeting a variety of
locations and issues. During this visit, the PCC met staff conducting their daily business at
a number of locations across East Leeds. Issues discussed included partnership working,
resourcing and the policing responses to issues which matter to local residents, including
crime, anti-social behaviour and Road Safety.”

The PCC said, “It was great to meet NPT officers and staff from East Leeds NPT and
hear about the proactive work to tackle crime, improve community engagement and to
tackle anti-social behaviour, helping to keep our communities safe”
