ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER

Officers for Shinewater continue to commit to daily patrols of their wards, with passing attention being paid to areas reported by residents as areas of heightened ASB.

Officers for the area have also set aside time to conduct patrols at school finishing time, to offer both parents and carers of youngsters attending the local school an opportunity to get to know their ward officer as well as hear regular updates on the work being conducted in your area to help keep everyone safe.

Visits to your local school also continue with planned meetings by your local PCSOs for the coming months.
