Shift times vary each day, but the team will generally be on duty for 8-hour periods anytime between the hours of 8 am and 2 am. On some occasions, where specific operational demands dictate, the team may operate two overlapping shift patterns allowing for 10 duty hours instead of the usual 8, HOWEVER, the norm is for the team to work together on one 8 hour shift.

 

The team will also target crime issues, as well as deal with requests from the community. They are there to deal with issues that the public raise.

 

The ethos of the SNT is to take a partnership approach with other agencies / associations when dealing with local issues. This allows a concerted and unified response by all interested agencies when enforcement is needed to remedy a situation.
