POLICE in Lancashire are opening their doors to members of the public this month for a special behind-the-scenes insight into neighbourhood policing. On Sunday, January 22nd, the force will
be hosting a Neighbourhood Policing event at the Lancashire headquarters in Saunders Lane, Hutton, in partnership with Lancashire Neighbourhood Watch Forum. All Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators
are invited to attend the ev en t, to learn about the constabulary’s commitment to neighbourhood policing and how they can become part of Lancashire Constabulary’s extended police family.
. Lancashire’s Neighbourhood Watch Forum will also be launching several new schemes a t the event including “Next of Kin” cards, which provide contact details
• for emergency services. A scheme to combat identity theft will
also be launched on the day and Trading Standards officers will be introducing a brand new doorstep crime campaign with former Detective Superintendent Brian Steele, who will deliver a presentation on the topic.
, Lancashire Fire and Rescue, St John Ambulance and Victim Support will also be on hand during the day, offering useful information and advice to all.
^ Sgt Steve Brown, from Lancashire Con stabulary’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "I encourage all of Lancashire’s Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators to attend this informative event and I urge members of the public to sign up to their
,local Neighbourhood Watch scheme. “The aim of Neighbourhood Policing is
to allow members of the community to have a better say in the way in which they
are policed. “I t recognises the importance of intelli
gence-led policing and the role the public can play in combating crime, be it from nuisance neighbours or drug dealers. “Lancashire Constabulary, is committed
to neighbourhood policing and by holding this event we hope to engage our commu nity volunteers, such as Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators, with oiir policing methods and ultimately help to make our communities safer for all.” Keith Warren, chairman of Lancashire
