Re: How often do you see a Police Officer where you live?

As the crow flies, we live approx 500m away from a police training centre. Naturally, we never see a copper on patrol per se, but we do occasionally have a couple of horse mounted officers now and again.

Never, since the village square Victorian police station was closed and sold off 20 years ago .....

Re: How often do you see a Police Officer where you live?

Because it's a recreation area at a lake I see a police car passing by almost once a week but mostly in the morning when they are not needed. At the beginning of the last shutdown I even saw two mounted policewomen.

Re: How often do you see a Police Officer where you live?

I live on a main road and 500 yds as the crow flies we have a bypass . The police cars constantly driving up and down these roads with flashing blue lights . Rarely see them walking but i am 3 miles out of the town . For a small seaside town they are certainly kept on their toes here .

Re: How often do you see a Police Officer where you live?

Roughly once a week when there's trouble in the 'orrid new estate just outside the old village where we live. The 'phone will go and it's a case of "Hi Rog, it's us, can you just nip next door and see if Bill can put us a box (or two or three) together - we'll be round later" which means mixed boxes of eggs and whatever to takeaway.

Later a modern version of a "Jam Sandwich" rolls up and - well it's a social call while they pick up their boxes from next door. It suits us, it suits them, and we get the scandal from the estate!

As for patrols round our gaff - nah. Well not that we notice anyway.

We have a Community Support Officer who walks around the village but I think he spends most of his time drinking tea in the local community hall or the library
