Community Event

Residents, 

Police attended a local community engagement event where officers had the opportunity to meet residents, listen to their concerns, and strengthen relationships within the community. The event provided a positive platform for open discussions about local issues, helping to build trust, confidence, and understanding between the police and members of the public.

Officers engaged with residents of all ages, answered questions regarding neighbourhood concerns, and provided reassurance around ongoing policing activity in the area. These interactions are vital in fostering stronger partnerships with the community, encouraging the sharing of information, and promoting a collaborative approach to keeping neighbourhoods safe.

During the event, crime prevention advice was provided on a range of topics including home security, vehicle crime, burglary prevention, personal safety, online fraud, and scam awareness. Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant, secure their property, report suspicious activity, and take practical steps to reduce opportunities for crime.

The engagement was well received by attendees and demonstrated the importance of visible neighbourhood policing. By maintaining regular contact with the public and providing crime prevention guidance, the police continue to support safer communities and build positive working relationships with local residents.
