Crime and community safety will be the topics of discussion at a series of meetings which will be held in George Town over the next few weeks.

The meetings, hosted by George Town Commander Chief Inspector Angelique Howell, will provide residents, Neighbourhood Watch coordinators, and those who operate businesses in the area with an opportunity to have their say about policing and discuss crime prevention issues.

CI Howell is encouraging as many people as possible to come along and share their views.

“It’s important for me to meet as many people as possible to share information about what we are doing – and to hear about the issues that impact the lives of those who live and work in George Town the most,” she said. “We do not police in isolation; we need and encourage the support of the community. Residents and business owners will be aware that while overall crime is consistently falling, burglaries are a continuous concern for the RCIPS and the community.  We hope that all of our Neighbourhood Watch coordinators will come along, and that people who are not yet members of the scheme will either join a group or consider introducing it into their areas.”

The meetings will be held –

Saturday 10 August – the Family Life Centre – 10.00am

Tuesday 13 August – the park in Martin Drive off Shedden Road – 7.30pm

Further dates will be announced shortly.

In the meantime, anyone who wishes to discuss any matters regarding community policing in the George Town area should contact SPC Fran General on [email protected] or CI Howell on [email protected].
