West Mercia Police invites you to ride along with SNT

West Mercia Police invites residents to join an officer from their Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) on patrol and experience first-hand how they work to resolve issues and concerns in the local area.

The Ride Along scheme is re-launching in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire and offers members of the public an insight into front-line policing.

SNTs are made up of police officers, special constables, police community support officers and volunteers, supported by additional officers and staff from the wider area. They are dedicated to serving your community and resolving issues that matter the most to residents.

Successful applicants will accompany an SNT officer for their shift and experience what a day on duty might look like.

Chief Inspector Matt Sanders, who is leading the scheme, said:

“We are very excited to re-introduce the Ride Along scheme to the public.

“It is a fantastic opportunity for the residents of our three counties to have a real insight into how we police their towns and cities. We hope the scheme will strengthen relationships between police and the public and allow for one-to-one conversations while out on patrol in your area.”

The Ride Along scheme is open to anyone aged 18 or over, and you must live in Herefordshire, Shropshire or Worcestershire.

Whether you are considering a career in policing, would like to know how your local area is being policed, or simply have an interest in policing, you are invited on shift.
