Two public meetings are being held to launch neighbourhood policing in Haymill, Slough.
The new style of Slough community policing will be introduced to residents at an open meeting on Monday 29 October at the Red Bricks Community Centre in Pevensey Road, starting at 7pm.
There will be a second open meeting at 7pm on Wednesday 7 November at the Haymill Community Centre in Burnham Lane, Slough.
Sgt Tony Welch, Slough neighbourhood sergeant for Haymill, said: “I will be introducing members of the Haymill policing team, including neighbourhood specialist officer PC Jay Newell and newly appointed Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) Sahadia Javed and Anita-Marie Kennedy.
“Representatives of our partner agencies, People 1st housing and Slough Borough Council, will also be on hand to speak to residents.
“The meetings will start with a presentation on what neighbourhood policing is all about, followed by questions. We will then invite the audience to write down the three most important things they would like the partners to do to improve the quality of life in Haymill.
“Finally, we will be asking people to volunteer or think about being part of the Haymill neighbourhood action group (NAG). It will be this group that steers neighbourhood policing and decides the three priorities based on feedback provided by residents at the open meetings.
“We hope that as many people as possible will come along to meet their neighbourhood policing team and find out about how they can get involved in this new initiative.”
The neighbourhood policing team for Haymill comprises:
Insp Jon Goosey
Sgt Tony Welch
PC Jay Knewell (Neighbourhood Specialist Officer)
PCSO Sahadia Javed
PCSO Anita-Marie Kennedy
All the officers can be contacted via the single non-emergency number: 0845 8 505 505.
