On 17 February 2026, residents in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, can meet directly with local officers to discuss safety concerns at a community drop-in session. The event will take place from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Three Rivers House on Northway, giving the public a chance to raise issues in person.
Officers from the Rickmansworth Neighbourhood Policing Team (Hertfordshire Constabulary) and Three Rivers District Council’s Community Safety Team will be available to answer questions. People can report ongoing problems such as nuisance neighbours or car crime and get advice on how the authorities can help locally.
The session focuses on making it easier for people to talk about local problems, such as shoplifting at supermarkets or concerns about drug-related activity. By meeting at Three Rivers House, residents can get clear guidance on whether a problem should be handled by the police or council teams.
Local teams say that information from the public is essential for making the area safer and tackling issues that might not be reported online. Funding for neighbourhood policing has been supported by the government’s Neighbourhood Policing Grant, which helps police forces recruit and deploy neighbourhood officers and PCSOs — a funding stream intended to boost local neighbourhood policing capacity rather than to directly pay for individual community events.
Residents who cannot attend but want to share their views on local priorities can also contact the Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner. This drop-in is part of a wider Community Safety Partnership effort to give the public more face-to-face time with the people responsible for keeping their streets safe.
