Community Policing

Are you aware?

Community Policing is a partnership between the police and the community working together to prevent or resolve problems that affect the communities safety and quality of life. The co-operation and help we have received from our volunteers makes our partnership second to none, and goes a long way towards making our community an enjoyable place to live
