In these difficult times we all have to adapt our lives to some varying levels. Social distancing for instance and the “rule of 6” to name just two instances. New approaches are also required by our services. Cheshire Police of course being one. Whether this new approach to Community Policing is solely influenced by Covid is not known.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the virus did have some impact though. Thanks yet again to John from Blacon for this latest Cheshire Police alert. Have a read of their new approach to Community Policing below.

New Approach To Community Policing

“Cheshire Police has today launched its new approach to community policing, which will see dedicated police officers assigned to each of the county’s 122 policing areas to tackle crime and support communities.

The initiative has been developed by Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) David Keane, who is striving for Cheshire to be the leading police service for delivering community policing.

It builds on the already successfully delivered initiative to provide a dedicated PCSO and police community base for each area. The new community police officers will work with their fellow PCSO, the wider policing team, and key partners to build relationships within the community. Sharing the same mission to solve problems at their root-cause before they become more serious.

They will spend more time in the heart of their dedicated communities. Also they will be given time to deal with issues that matter most to local residents. Another benefit of the changes is local residents will have more opportunities than ever before to directly contact their officers. Either online, through social media, or face-to-face during police surgeries.

New Approach To Community Policing – Funding Details

The work of the new community policing teams will be supported by a funding package for each community. This has been made available from money seized from criminals under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

This will consist of a £1,000 funding pot for all 122 communities and an additional £10,000 for all eight policing units. Local people can bid for part of these funds to deliver projects which work with the local policing team and key partners to address specific issues.

This now also means that you have:

A local community police base
A dedicated PCSO
A dedicated PC
Regular community policing surgeries
Funding for your local community.

Details of your local police officer, PCSO and community base can be found below:

Constable Daniel Saxon and PCSO Martin Quick.
