911 - Dunstable Central
Our community policing teams are dedicated to proactively tackling issues that matter most to our communities and address the core root of a problem, finding a long term solution. Split across local hubs, as well as an airport community team and the Community Enforcement team, officers have a visible presence in our communities engaging with the local public and prioritising activity based on the needs of the local people.
Partnership working is the key to community policing success and teams work closely with other organisations to maintain good networks and monitor community needs, working together to fully understand a problem and tailor the response to get the best results.

Community Priority for WHIPSNADE Issued 01 July 2025 |
Since the beginning of July there has been one residential burglary within the Studham/Whipsnade area of Bedfordshire. Our priority was to reduce burglaries and to improve the confidence that residents have in the police. We have engaged with residents regularly to offer security advice and to refer vulnerable residents, if necessary for support. We have also engaged with local councillors and empowered residents by looking into to set up a Neighbourhood watch scheme, however this was already in place. We patrolled the area regularly and held numerous engagements in the area to offer support and advice and for residents to air their concerns. We have also put up posters to deter suspects in areas that are vulnerable. Burglaries have dramatically reduced and we will continue to support and engage with residents. Actioned 13 August 2025 |
