PCSOs Kris Seviour and Shelley Day attended Critchill school recently to deliver an input on all things Police.
They thanked all the students from the reception class for raising such good questions on the day; we are always happy to come and have a chat about anything. PCSO Kris was even set a challenge by one of the students on how many police hats he could put on his head!
If you would like to speak with a member of your Neighbourhood Team to arrange a talk then please make contact with us and we would be happy to discuss your requirements.
PCSO Gary Maule was invited into Frome Community College on their careers day to talk about the role of a PCSO and what Avon and Somerset Constabulary has to offer. Gary is a very experienced PCSO with 16 years of experience behind him. He was very happy to deliver a talk when approached by the school.
The Frome Neighbourhood Policing Team were made aware of intelligence concerning a vehicle driving around with no tax, no insurance and no MOT. Officers have now removed the vehicle from the highway for causing obstruction; the vehicle was spotted by PCSO Shelley Day and PCSO Gary Maule. Facebook is a great tool for us all to communicate and share information, but without an official report to the Police these are the kinds of occurrences that have the potential to carry on, unnoticed. Contact can be made via 999, 101 or the online reporting process.
PCSOs Gary Maule and Kris Seviour attended Vallis Youth Club to say hi to the many young people that attend. They were able to catch up with youth leaders – Chiara, Dave and Lucy – who run the youth club and were told of some exciting developments that will be unfolding for the young people of Frome in the coming weeks.
PCSO Will met up with our park rangers this month. The town council are recruiting two further rangers and advise you to take a look on the town council website for more information. As a team, we wanted to thank them for all the hard work they do which allows all of us to enjoy our beautiful green spaces.
As Neighbourhood Officers we are always keen on developing good working relationships with local agencies.
Frome Rural
Lately we have had several reports of poaching in the Frome rural area. We are interested in all reports of wildlife and rural crime and suspicious incidents. Reports received from the public will help inform the patrols we conduct during this poaching season. We are always available to visit your farm or rural property to discuss Farm Watch, crime prevention and any other community issues. You can report a crime online or call 101 (for non-emergencies) or 999 (for emergencies). Alternatively report a suspicious incident to your Farm Watch or Horse Watch representative.
PCSO Mandy attended Leigh on Mendip School recently to deliver a talk on stranger danger / internet safety with the pupils. It was a fun and great learning experience for all.
Your Neighbourhood Team would like to take this opportunity to remind you that February was Internet Safety Month! We will be conducting various talks about internet safety to students and other young people as we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep yourself, your friends, and anyone else you know safe online.
