Neighbourhood Support Unit

They:

• support the area housing offices in combating anti-social behaviour
• provide security for the empty council properties by installing, monitoring and responding to alarm activations
• monitor CCTV on a number of council estates
• respond to incidents and undertake foot and mobile patrols to new incidents
• supply, maintain and respond to activations of responsive burglar alarms - these are available to tenants if they have been a victim of burglary, domestic violence, harassment or are in the witness support scheme. There are only a limited number of these alarms, but every application will be assessed.
• remove small amounts of offensive graffiti

The NSU are not there to replace the police - if you see anyone committing a criminal act, you should contact your local police or telephone 999 in an emergency.

Crimestoppers also have a free phone number on 0800 555 111 if you have any information regarding a crime.
