Inspector, five Sergeants and thirty Constables have police powers
within the parks and a duty to ensure that the parks remain safe
and welcoming places for everyone. The service is part of the
Council’s Environment, Leisure and Resident’s Services
Department.
They assist in delivering both borough’s commitment to do all
they can to reduce crime and anti social behaviour, by working with
local communities and park users to identify concerns and
adopt a problem solving approach to resolve them.
