Role
This type of policing is designed to make the police more visible, reduce fear and aid interaction between the public and the police, and it aids in local knowledge, gaining intelligence and tip-offs from the public. [4]
NPTs are led by a police officer, usually of sergeant/Inspector rank, and may include Police Community Support Officers, special constables, local council staff and members of voluntary organisations, such as a neighbourhood watch.
Usually NPTs are responsible for patrolling an area of around 4 square miles (10 km2) of urban area or around Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). of rural area.
