Increase contact opportunities with police
We welcome feedback from the public and want you to engage with us. Let us know about the issues you have in your area, how we can support your community. We want to know what type of engagement you would like us to do in your area on a regular basis.
This could include:
- Talk to Us sessions where you can come along and speak to us about policing issues or crime prevention advice, and find out who we are and what we do
- Policing Masterclasses where we can deliver an event to educate communities about issues such as; drugs, ASB, fraud, child sexual exploitation or modern day slavery and provide signposting to support agencies
We would also like to see an increase in Community SpeedWatch and Neighbourhood Watch schemes, where communities take ownership for issues in their area, play a pivotal role in helping to tackle issues and get regular support from the police.
If you have any information about criminality or issues in your area or would like more information about the schemes and engagements mentioned, please contact us using the form at the bottom of our team page.

I am looking to start regular drop in sessions at Backwell Parish Council every 4 weeks. The dates will vary but a notice will be posted on the parish council website to notify the community of these dates.

I am in consultation with Backwell School and we are looking at the possibility of opening a drop in room once a month within the school. This will give students the opportunity to speak with me about any concerns they may have or just to chat about police careers. I hoping that if this agreed, it will be up and running in the new school year.
