Seeing double in Taunton
| Published: 5th November 2008 13:18 |
Residents in Taunton East are being given the chance to get up close and personal with police officers on the beat in their area.
Life size cardboard cut outs of members of the Safer Stronger Neighbourhood policing team will be appearing at various locations across Taunton East, to allow members of the public to familiarise themselves with officers in their neighbourhood.
Sergeant Andy Murphy said: "This initiative is another opportunity to let people know that their local officers are approachable and able to help. It's a case of recognition, if people in our neighbourhoods know the name and face of their Beat Manager it makes them more familair and therefore approachable."
The cardboard Beat Managers can be found at various locations across the district, including supermarkets, schools and other public areas.
