Police
The vacuum left by the removal of “village bobbies” some years ago has been partially filled by the concept of flexible “neighbourhood policing”. This is provided by “response” officers, aided by Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
Our PCSO is Kate Richards. Kate can issue Fixed Penalty Notices in certain cases, but her main function apart from providing a uniformed presence, is to gather intelligence in regard to criminal activities, for passing on to her police colleagues, and to offer advice in general. Use the normal 101 (non emergency) number to contact Kate (see below). In an emergency dial 999
Dial 101 to report non-urgent crime, speak to your local officer or to make an enquiry. 101 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each call will never cost more than 15p, even from mobiles.
