Can anyone leave us a note here letting us know if they see police officers out on the beat in Hucclecote. Or even PCSO's. Seriously. I may have to go to a meeting soon to ask about police visibility. I want to know my local force; I want my son to know who they are. I want them to know that they can chat to us and that we can chat to them. To be fair, their pressures are top down and I really don't blame them for their lack of visibility, but I really do want to see them, out and about, chatting, engaging with people, converations without a purpose. I know that such time may not have 'outcomes' but surely visibility and confidence alone are two meaures that should count for something?
If anyone who is a local officer reads this, and I hope they do, please do contact me. I am genuine in trying to get to know what drives policing in the service as it is now, what pressures you have and what you think interferes with what you believe policing should be about.
