Organiser Sgt Darren Taylor said: "The events that are taking place provide an excellent opportunity for residents to speak with officers, share their comments and feedback and report any concerns they may have.

"This represents the proactive approach police are taking to create a safe community for everyone in Barnsley, and I hope the success of these events will represent the cohesive work that is being done by officers."
