Cheshire pcc and chief constable

Cheshire Police chiefs are to launch “engagement” events to hear what the public think of them – starting with Crewe and Nantwich residents.

Cheshire Chief Constable Simon Byrne and Police & Crime Commissioner John Dwyer are inviting members of the public to tell them what they want from the police at the “Working Together′ events.

They will take place in colleges, universities and venues across nine of the county′s biggest towns.

And residents can also join in from their own living room, as the events will include a live webcast.

The first will be staged this Thursday October 23 at South Cheshire College in Crewe from 6.30-8pm.

The idea is to allow the community to speak to neighbourhood officers to discuss localised crime and disorder issues, ideas and priorities, as well as receiving crime prevention advice and information.

Mr Byrne said: “The Constabulary has conducted events like these in the past, but not on this scale.

“You can have your input like never before – not only can you ask live questions, both in person or online, but you can directly influence policing priorities in your area.

“We want to hear from you to tell us what you want from your police force, and these events provide a terrific opportunity for you to do that.”

Mr Dwyer added: “I am dedicated to bringing the communities of Cheshire and the police closer together.

“These consultation events will allow the public to ask questions of me and of the Chief Constable and influence the policing priorities in their area.

“I′d encourage everyone to take part in these very innovative, informative and impactive events.”
