Newton Abbot has received funding for street marshal patrols in the town centre.

The patrols aim to proactively disrupt crime and act as a deterrent, as well as providing a reassuring presence to help people feel safe.

Additional funding enabled daily police patrols in hotspot areas over the summer months. Police and street marshals will be working together to reduce antisocial behaviour.

Thanks to our partners Teignbridge District Council for their help in setting up and managing these patrols.
