https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2031906470433054&id=1522389244718115NEWS: Your Sheffield teams are changing!

From Monday 14 January, your neighbourhood policing team is going to change and you’ll see a difference on our social media page.

Sheffield West will become Sheffield South West, and Sheffield Central will become Sheffield Central & North West.

The Sheffield South West team will cover Gleadless, Lowedges, Batemoor, Jordonthrope, Sharrow, Bents Green, Dore, Totley, Millhouses, Greenhill, Baslow, Heeley, Mearsbrook, Norton and Abbeydale and be based at Woodseats Police Station.

Sheffield Central & North West will maintain responsibility for policing in the city centre, but will have officers covering Crookes, Hillsborough, Fulwood, Stocksbridge and Walkley. The team will be based at Snig Hill Police Station and Deepcar Police Station.

Superintendent Paul McCurry said: “For our local communities and businesses in the west of Sheffield, you shouldn’t see any change to the level of service offered – if anything, changing the responsibilities and the coverage of our local teams means that we will be able to more effectively respond to the issues that concern you most.

“We have increased our staffing within the North West with the addition of a sergeant and two police constables who will be based at Deepcar.

“You’ll see the change across our social media pages, where the teams will post information and updates about incident that affect you. Remember you can also sign up to SYP Alerts, which is a free messaging service that enables your local officers to communicate directly with you.”

Stay tuned for further updates from your local teams!
