POLICE and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer has been visiting policing teams in Warrington to hear from officers about how they are dealing with the local key issues and challenges.
He joined PC Juliet Taylor as she highlighted the hotspot areas in Warrington town centre, including at the ‘skittles’ sculpture, the bus station, underpass and back towards the Golden Gates.
The local policing team have increased patrols in the local area to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour.
Specially trained officers have taken part in Project Servator providing reassurance to businesses and the public whilst disrupting criminal behaviour.

Mr Dwyer said: “Community policing is extremely important as it enables areas to build relationships with the officers who they regularly see in their neighbourhoods. This then gives them the confidence to report issues, enabling the Constabulary to build up intelligence and identify hotspot areas.
“I want to highlight the great work being done by our local policing teams to identify and resolve issues in their communities. There may not be a quick fix for everything, but quality community policing is the basis of any long-term solution.”

I remember in the 80/90s there were 6 foot beats in the town centre patrolled every shift.
Now we are lucky to see one PCSO in the town centre !
