Cheshire Police - Warrington Community Police Post

Around 300 people have visited a new community police base in the heart of Warrington town centre in the space of a month.

Members of the public have stopped off at the site in the heart of the town centre for a variety of reasons -- including seeking advice and support on policing issues, talking to local neighbourhood officers and to report stolen property.




Inspector Neil Drum, of Warrington Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said:

Since opening the 'police post' last month we have had a fantastic response from members of the public.

Around 300 people have walked through the doors so far and we hope that will continue over the next few months.

The majority of people have been seeking advice and support from local officers -- others have used it as an opportunity to have a chat with members of the local neighbourhood policing team.

The community facility provides access to a range of advice and support and certain types of assistance relating to policing services.

It is in an ideal spot - a busy, easy-to-reach location - and is part of a drive to further improve links with the local community, to further reduce crime in the town centre and to offer reassurance to shoppers and local businesses.
