Chester: Residents invited to raise policing issues with PCC

PCC Dwyer, Chief Constable Mark Roberts and Chief Inspector Paul Fegan will be attending the Cheshire South and West College Campus, Handbridge from 7pm until 8pm on Thursday, October 26. Residents wishing to put their concerns to the group must register their attendance by October 25.

There will be nine 'Working Together' events taking place across the county - one in each Local Policing Unit (LPU) - encouraging Cheshire's communities to engage with the latest developments in policing and to ask any questions they might have of their local team and senior officers.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, John Dwyer said: "Improving public confidence in policing is one of my priorities in my Police and Crime Plan and I want people in Chester to be confident that their police service is working for them. That’s why I want to give people the chance to hear about what I and my office are doing alongside the Constabulary to make Cheshire even safer and give residents the chance to raise local issues.

"I’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can on the evening."

Cheshire Constabulary’s Chief Constable, Mark Roberts, said: "Receiving feedback from our communities is vitally important to us so that we can improve the service that we provide the public.

"We police by consent and part of that is listening to our residents and using their feedback to help shape our priorities, particularly at a local level. This in turn helps to support our wider focus of protecting the vulnerable, securing justice for victims, and making Cheshire a hostile environment for criminals.

"I’d encourage as many people as possible to join these events so that, together, we can continue to make Cheshire an even safer place to live and work."
