2010-06-02 On Yer bike |
During the recent spell of warm weather, local PCSOs decided to upgrade their mode of transport, from foot to wheels! Specially designed pushbikes that are fully marked, have been provided for all NPT Officers to assist them tackling crime. Push-bikes are an excellent way of covering more ground whilst on patrol, they provide a quicker and environmentally friendly response, and so far have received positive feedback from local residents, who are happy with the presence. If your see your local officers patrolling on bikes, please continue to pass on information, or flag them down with any concerns or issues.
