some areas of the Ribble Valley as part of a drive to provide a more visible uniformed pres-,
ence on the beat. : Lancashire Constabulary has
been given £946,477 to introduce 72 CSOs across its six geographic divisions. These new. recruits will develop a more community-based problem-solving approach to resolving local issues, addressing many tasks that do not require the experience or powers held by police
officers. Advertisements for the £12-14,000 .
posts will start appearing this week. . Using a limited range of powers, the county's contingent of CSOs will tackle local anti-social behaviour problems and other issues affecting
the quality of life by reporting van dalism, deterring juvenile nuisance and visiting victims of crime. Lan cashire has also been selected to be one of six pilot areas across the coun try where CSOs will test detention powers over the next two years. Chief Constable Paul Stephenson
said: "Our excellent track record in delivering problem-orientated polic ing and other community-based ini tiatives ideally places us to lead national efforts in introducing Police Community Support Officers into mainstream policing. By being among the first in the country to introduce the role we hope to build on our successes and achieve, our ambi tion to be the best police force in the

Community Support Officers will provide us with additional capacity to meet this demand and deliver a

NORMALLY a mishit is something golfers try to avoid, but at the recent Oakhill College,
. Alcock and Robert Walmsley), managed the miss/hit competition at the short 17th, where the golfers made a donation against winning a pack of golf balls for hitting the green. Need less to say, Miss Walmsley was much the busier of the two markers. While it was a somewhat damp day, nothing
could dampen the spirits of the 25 teams par ticipating with some 100 golfers competing for a vast array of prizes, kindly donated by local • sponsors and associates of the college, such as prizes for the first five teams, the longest drive and nearest the pin on the par 3s. The proud overall winners of the day were
the team from the Shireburn Arms Hotel, Hurst Green, who won the team prize on a card play-off and became the recipients of exclusive
Dunhillpens.
