Your local team
We are based within a multi-agency team at Scarborough Town Hall. This allows us to problem solve issues, before they become long-term problems, by using a dedicated team from different agencies to enhance our service to the public. We are working within our communities, for the re-development for our communities to create a better quality of life for our residents. Our whole ambition is to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in our town and to make it a safer place for both our residents and the visitors. We are always finding new ways to develop how we engage with our communities. We promote high-visibility patrols, for public reassurance and to encourage engagement from our communities.
If you want to receive regular updates about meetings and events, what we're doing in your area, want to contact us easily with your feedback, or receive alerts about incidents, you can sign up to our community messaging system. You'll receive emails or text messages about the issues you tell us you want to know about.
Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Our Resident's Voice survey has shown us that concerns around anti-social behaviour and street drinking is still a priority.
Action taken:
We will be patrolling hotspot locations based on reports from our community. Recently, we have attended Grosvenor Crescent and Falsgrave Road areas following complaints of street drinking and ASB.
To report, you can call 101 or visit our website at www.northyorkshire.police.uk -
Priority:
Reduce repeat demand from frequent callers and high-demand locations through early intervention, problem solving and partnership working
Action taken:
By addressing the root causes of repeat calls for service, officer time can be released to focus on proactive policing, increase visible patrols, and improve our ability to respond to and engage with the communities of Scarborough South.
-
Priority:
We need to overcome barriers when engaging with our communities. Calling 101 may not be the best practice to speak to a local officer, the email system may be more awkward for those without technological capabilities, or you may just fancy a good face to face chat.
Action taken:
Our Community Connections events are face to face, drop ins, where you don't need an appointment to attend.
We are increasing the frequency of our events and adding more locations.
You can find a list of locations further up this page, under the "meetings and events" tab
