"If you see officers or PCSOs in the town please go and talk to them if you have any concerns - or if you just want to get to know your local neighbourhood team more.

She added: "We couldn’t do it without the support of the local community though, which is why it’s so important that if you see something that concerns you to get in touch with us."
