Linby And Papplewick
The borough of Gedling has a population of 112,000, which lies to the North East of Nottingham. It is primarily an urban area, which covers the Arnold and Carlton areas, as well as some more rural communities. For the majority of his life, it was home to Lord Byron. The Gedling Neighbourhood teams are led by Inspector Heather Harding, with three teams of PCs and PCSOs under her command. These three teams are split into Gedling Central, Gedling South and Gedling North, each supervised by a Sgt.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across the district.
Please find contact details for your Neighbourhood Team provided below. Please note that to report a crime or incident to Nottinghamshire you can visit nottinghamshire.police.uk or in an emergency, please dial 999.
Did you know you can help influence local policing in your community in a number of ways. Nottinghamshire is a pilot area for Immediate Justice where; the scheme provides an opportunity for those who commit low level antisocial behaviour to compensate the community by undertaking supervised reparation activities which help to improve the environment e.g., litter picking, graffiti removal. You can report what areas you would like to see such activities here:-

We run Op Visibility every Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening across all our districts in Nottinghamshire patrolling Hotspots for anti social behaviour as identified by members of the public. You can complete our Op Visibility survey on the link below which if you tell you have witnessed a form or ASB in the past month will generate a request for you to identify where this was on a map so we can consider adding it to our patrol plans.
Please select one of the below options to start the survey. (nottsalerts.co.uk)

Local Priority Issues
Gedling Borough Policing Priorities Jan - Apr 2025
Youth related ASB:
Through consultation with partners, analysis of the PCC crime survey and feedback from our community the issue of ASB caused by young people in the centre of Arnold has been highlighted, including low level criminal offences, such as criminal damage. This has been identified as a problem by members of the public and businesses in the locality
Begging:
There has been a concern raised by the local community and businesses in relation to an increasing numbers of beggars in the area. Some of these beggars can be quite aggressive towards the members of public.
Vehicle ASB:
Through analysis of crime, consultation with partners in our Multi agency Problem Solving meeting, the PCC crime survey and feedback from our community we have identified that there are a number of meeting points for large car meets within the Gedling area, and that when large groups of drivers meet up, there is an increase in anti social behaviour and vehicle related nuisance.
