Comments (0)TAUNTON MP Jeremy Browne has been seeing first hand the effects of community policing.
Mr Browne spent a morning out on patrol with Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) Karen Devine and David Scholfield, from the Taunton Town Centre team, to see the work they are involved in.
Jeremy Browne said: "The Taunton Town Centre team is providing an increasing level of visible policing.
"Community support officers make a valuable contribution.
"While out on patrol we found a five-year-old child who had wandered away from his mother.
"The community support officers also enforced the alcohol restrictions in Goodland Gardens and checked for anti-social behaviour in French Weir Park and the Fairwater Recreation Ground.
"I am very supportive of community-level policing.
"I am pleased to see the town centre team working closely with shopkeepers, bar owners and the general public to make Taunton as safe as possible for everyone."
