The Denham neighbourhood team is hosting a number of beat surgeries to give residents an opportunity to meet some of their local officers and tell them which quality of life issues they would like them to focus on.
The initiative forms part of neighbourhood policing, which was introduced by Thames Valley Police and partner agencies in Denham earlier this year.
The surgeries, which are hosted by Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) Fay Rider and Gemma Thompson, are taking place at the following venues:
Monday, 2 July, 12am to 1pm: Station Parade, Denham Green
Monday, 2 July, 6pm to 7pm: Higher Denham Community Association Hall
Tuesday, 3 July, 12am to 1pm: Denham Parish Council Offices, Denham Village
Tuesday, 3 July, 6pm to 7pm: Willow Bank Green, New Denham
PCSO Gemma Thompson said: “This is an opportunity for people to meet their local officers and tell us about any concerns they may have and whether we could help them with these.
“I would encourage people to come along to the surgeries, as we are keen to find out what people are worried about so we can help them.
“We can also give advice to people on how they can protect themselves from crimes such as burglary, vehicle crime and theft.
“We are planning to make these surgeries a regular opportunity to give people input into which quality of life issues they would like us to focus on.”
David Hartin, senior community safety co-ordinator for Bucks County Council, said: "Neighbourhood policing is all about trying to provide a tailor-made service to tackle crime and other issues that stop local people feeling safe in their own community. Buckinghamshire County Council applaud local initiatives such as the Beat Surgeries being arranged in Denham, which should better enable us to identify and, together with Thames Valley Police and our other partner agencies, address community safety concerns and quality of life issues accordingly".
