Priorities
I have been made aware of the groups that are sitting around the area and the broad green community centre. Regular patrols have been done but any help you can provide to identify any individuals will help us greatly to build up an intelligence picture. Like I have said before, Although not all of them are doing anything wrong it is the small minority of them that give the rest a bad name.
If there is anything you feel I should be aware of and any areas that I should maybe concentrate on then feel free to let Pam know and she can email me your contact details or the issue you have raised.
Best Wishes
Craig
Police is an intelligence driven business and we would urge you to contact Wiltshire police on 101 if you have something you need to tell us. Or alternatively email Community Co-ordinator PC 2415 Craig THOMPSON on craig.thompson@wiltshire.pnn.police.uk
