What is a policing unit?
The City Centre Policing Unit made arrests and charges in July. A policing unit is a specialised team within a larger police force, often focused on a particular area, type of crime, or community need. This allows for more targeted and efficient deployment of resources to address specific challenges, like those found in a busy city centre.
