Doncaster West also saw its Edlington Police Station re-opened as a base for officers early last year as part of the move towards improving that area of policing.
And the Doncaster East neighbourhood also recently saw two officers starting community policing roles, targeting Armthorpe, Hatfield and Dunscroft. They are already working on specific projects within that area, revealed their neighbourhoods inspector, Insp Alison Carr.
Neighbourhoods inspector for Doncaster West Insp Adrian Luscombe expects the extra officers to make a significant difference to the area in the medium to long term.

A first-time drug dealer was arrested just 10 minutes into his new career, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
Zico Oldham, who was 19 at the time of his arrest on November 20 2019, was accused of acting suspiciously by two plainclothes officers while with two men in Mexborough.
He pled guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and was given two years in a young offenders’ institution.
The jury heard Oldham was found with £610 worth of heroin and cocaine, £90 in cash, and two phones – one for work, one for ‘business’.
