Brigg police were unable to send a representative to the Annual Town Public Meeting in the Angel Suite.
However, PCSO Danny Whitehead submitted a written report which was read to those present by Town Clerk Dinah Lilley on his behalf.
PCSO Whithead said he was pleased to be working in Brigg and said local staffing was being increased.
Figures were given pointing to a general reduction in crime.
Coun Ann Eardley told the meeting that she was keen to know the opening hours of the public office at the police station on Barnard Avenue.
only 2 pc's & 2 pcso's are allocated to brigg & wolds to tackle crime pr head each would cover about 1.500 households.the pcso's cannot even arrest only hold which any person in law can do.
ReplyDeleteWith respect to PCSOs, it's is a bit like a head teacher sending a classroom assistant to a address a meeting of parents.

Presumptive text strikes again! It should read Sgt Garlick...
