Luton Division
About Luton
Luton is a vibrant and cosmopolitan town that includes a large and expanding international airport, a championship football club, one of the UK's biggest shopping centres and a fast-growing university that attracts students from all over the world.
Public safety, crime reduction, victim and witness care- these are the issues that matter to the people of Luton. Equally, these are the issues that matter to Bedfordshire Police, who are united in providing a quality service that fully meets the requirements of the community we are so proud to serve.
Here at Luton, we are taking the initiative against crime by working in the community and for the community. At a local level, we have formed six Safer Neighbourhood Teams who, working in partnership with other agencies, the voluntary sector and the public, are determining local policing priorities, combating crime and improving the quality of life for local people. These teams consist of uniformed Police Officers, Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) led by a Sergeant
At divisional level, our Investigation Unit focuses on less serious offences and seeks to bring more offenders to justice. We are also working hard on our operational response to ensure we maintain the best possible response to calls from the public. Our Operational Performance Group, which is responsible for the effective management of our police resources on a daily basis, is helping to decrease levels of crime and increase customer satisfaction.
We also have a number of specialist units. For example, our Domestic Violence Unit, working closely with social services and other partner agencies, will investigate crimes between current and former partners, wherever and whenever such crimes occur. We also have a number of response teams, particularly for burglary and robbery, which can be readily deployed to secure important evidence at the scene and help ensure that offenders can be successfully brought to justice. While our Airport Unit works hard to provide a reassuring police presence and protect passengers, staff, aircraft and property.
