This is not your typical police post. 👀

We're not putting this up to remind you of the law. We're putting it up because next week, officers are going to be standing in your church, your shop, your street corner.... not on duty in the way you're used to, but talking, listening, answering for the Force the way you don't usually get the chance to ask.

A safer SVG doesn't come from one operation or one announcement. It comes from people and police actually knowing each other.... so that when something happens, you already know who to call and they already know your community.

That's what next week is for. We hope you'll be part of it.
