Neighbourhood Police Teams One of Labour's most effective policies has been to ensure that local communities get their own teams of police officers who are responsible for covering the streets in their neighbourhoods. The aim is that residents get to know their local police officers, who in turn get to develop a good knowledge of the issues that affect the area. Find out who your local police are in your local area and how to contact them on the sites below: Central Southend (Victoria, Kursaal and Milton wards) Southchurch area (St Lukes, Southchurch and Thorpe wards) Shoeburyness (Shoeburyness and West Shoebury wards)
