I am sure many of you will have read, on page two of the current Newsletter, of the incident that took place on the road near the Oil refinery in January. It was for this reason we invited PCSO Leanne Nicholls to speak to us on Thursday.
Leanne is a Police Community Support Officer stationed at Milford Haven, and as her job title infers she works within the community. Following the incident, in question, the police carried out a thorough investigation of the situation but were unable to obtain any information as to the perpetrators. However, further incidents have occurred and the message to us was “be vigilant and drive with locked doors”.
One aspect of Leanne’s talk brought home to us just how the cutbacks have affected services that we once took for granted, being able to walk into a Police Station at most times of the day and the visibility of the local “bobby”. It would seem we, as citizens, need to attend to the policing of our own localities watching out for any unusual occurrences in our neighbourhood and reporting such events to the Police. Some areas, of course, have a “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes and there is also, as one of our members pointed out, a “Village Watch”. The message is be aware of what is going on around you.
