Changes in the Policing Team in Bradley Stoke

Kevin Thatcher - 6th December 2006

The last 6 months have seen changes in the policing team in Bradley Stoke. PC Shaun Oliver has moved on to pastures new, he has yet to be replaced, however we have a temporary beat manager called PC Lee Neale and are recruiting for the full time post.

Police Community Support officer Jason Green has recently moved to the Bradley Stoke beat.

The number of officers dedicated to Bradley Stoke will increase to one neighbourhood beat manager and three community support officers with the implementation of neighbourhood policing. Additional officers will increase gradually over the next twelve months.

One of the issues causing concern is anti social behaviour; although often this has been rowdy behaviour recently the area experienced youths targeting the ethnic minority community.

Police and partners have been working extremely hard to combat this, targeting the ringleaders, and dealing with them using criminal offences and early intervention strategies.

We have recently secured office space in Bradley Stoke School and will use this as a police post. This will enable our officers to spend more time in the community.

We continue to run our beat surgeries and the dates are as follows:

11th December 2006 12-2pm

11th January 2007 4-6pm

13th February 2007 12-2pm

26th March 2007 4-6pm

The surgeries are held at Bradley Stoke Library, please come along and discuss any concerns.
