Help police to fight crime

RESIDENTS are being urged to share their local knowledge of Warrington with the police to help fight crime.
People living in Woolston are being encouraged to sign up to a local Home Watch scheme.
They can find out more at a special meeting at Woolston Leisure Centre tonight (Monday) between 7pm and 8pm.
Police Community Support Officers Jonathan Williams and Bethan Roberts are hosting the event.
PCSO Williams said: “The main aim of a Home Watch scheme is to create a real sense of partnership between the local community, the police and various partner agencies.
“These schemes are a great way of building community relations and working together to reduce crime, the fear of crime and to improve the quality of life in the area.”
He said residents know the community well and can pass on vital community intelligence to the police and partner agencies – such as reporting someone suspicious in the area or a bogus caller who has targeted a neighbour.
At the meeting residents will get the opportunity to meet neighbours and discuss issues or concerns with officers.
Leaflets explaining the scheme and how to join will be handed out and there will be an opportunity for people to sign up as Home Watch co-ordinators.
