In an initiative to foster community engagement and address local concerns, officers from the local police department will be available for a meet-and-greet at the Old Well Garden Centre, located at Waterloo Cross, Uffculme, this Saturday, 23rd March, between 11 am and 1 pm.

The event is an open invitation to all community members who have issues, or concerns, or are seeking advice on various matters. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for residents to engage directly with their local law enforcement officers in a friendly and informal setting.

Such community meetings are essential for building trust between the police and the community they serve. It allows for direct communication, where residents can raise their concerns, discuss local problems, or seek advice on personal or community safety issues. Moreover, it gives the police a chance to understand the community's needs better, discuss their work in the area, and how they can support the residents more effectively.

The Old Well Garden Centre, a popular local venue, offers the perfect setting for this community engagement event, promising a relaxed atmosphere for constructive dialogue. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to meet their local officers, ask questions, and share their insights on improving community safety and wellbeing.

For those planning to attend, the event details are as follows:

• Location: Old Well Garden Centre, Waterloo Cross, Uffculme
• Date: Saturday, 23rd March
• Time: 11 am to 1 pm

This meeting is part of ongoing efforts to enhance community policing and ensure that the local police force is accessible and responsive to the needs of the residents it serves. The police department looks forward to welcoming everyone who wishes to participate in this valuable exchange.
