Big shake-up for police area L ocal division is to join with Blackburn


v 11AD,IC'.A.L shake-up Valley division merged . T h e mo v e has the back


ing of Clitheroe’s police chief — he believes Kibble Valley residents will bene­


fit from more bobbies on the beat.


u Par^ of a wider plan by the county’s Chief Con­


stable, Pauline Clare, to take the force into the next century.


But it is still too early to say what will happen to


the controversial tele­ phone system, which has been the target of much


public criticism in recent years. From April 1st all calls


to Clitheroe Police Station and 999 emergency calls are expected to be dealt with at a communications centre in the new division. The communications for


the current division — consisting of Colne, Nel­ son, Barnoldswick and Clitheroe — are* centra­ lised at Colne and this sys­


tem has come in for some flack. Officers are deployed by


radio from Colne when emergency calls come


through to the switch­ board. The switch to this centralised system led to confusion about the cor­ rect number to dial and complaints about difficulty getting through. Insp. Les Martin con­


firmed that a communica­ tion network for the new division was being dis­ cussed and details of the


of the county’s police force will see the Ribble

new set-up would be announced nearer April. He said: “We will still be committed to answering emergency calls within 10 seconds and responding within 15 minutes any­ where in the county.” The shake-up means


Clitheroe no longer shar­ ing police resources with the three other towns in the current division. All resources — such as traffic police and CID — will be deployed from a location, y e t to be announced, within the new division. Insp. Martin believes


the public will not see any changes in the policing when Clitheroe merges wth Accrington and Black­ burn. He said: “We have got good support at the moment, but with the change in divisional struc­ ture we should have even b e tte r support. There won’ t be a noticeable change in policing.” And he dismissed any


suggestion that the Ribble Valley will be second in line when it comes to deployment of resources. He said: ‘There will be a greater pool of resources. We will be able to use the resources o f Blackburn and Accrington.” In the long run the


changes will lead to an increased number of bob­

bies on the beat. Insp. Martin said: “ It has always been a priority to have high visibility policing and the number o f police officers will hopefully increase. We will have police officers doing what they should be doing.” He added that the


changes would certainly not mean the closure of Clitheroe Police Station. An increase in the num- Blackpool


ber of bobbies on the Kib­ ble Valley beat is due to take place in the next few weeks. Public inquiry assistants will take up their posts at the station’s front counter, releasing more officers for the beat. The county-wide shake-


up will see six new divi­ sions created from the


existing 14. Using a busi­ ness-like approach, senior


police officers want to reduce bureaucracy and g iv e b e tte r value for money.
