Dear Resident,

At the end of another busy week for your Wokingham North NHPT here is a round-up of our activities so far…  Our area spans across Earley, Woodley, Winnersh and Twyford.  As well as our regular duties, officers:

🎒  PCSO’s Sparks, Leightley, Hobart and Towse attended Wargrave Pre-School whilst PC Simson-Holland and PC Saunders brought the police car along for all the children to explore. PC Simpson-Holland showed the children all the different types of lights on the car and explained what each light is used for.  PCSO Sparks then read them our PC Ben book, which explains what PC Ben does on a shift, looking after his community. After giving them stickers for listening so well, the children got to try on some Police uniform and get creative with some colouring in! This is a way of teaching the children about what a Police Officer does and what they wear which they were very excited about.  Thank you for having us stay for the morning!

🗣️  PCSO’s Ispas and Elson hosted a Have Your Say at Maiden Place, Lower Earley – an ideal engagement opportunity to hear from you, the good and of course the areas that need more attention.

💂  PC D’Amaro and PCSO’s Emmett, Leightley, Hobart and Sparks attended Windsor Guard, for changing of the guard duties.

🏫  PC’s Young and Bogdanova, with PCSO Brown visited Little Acorns Nursery in Twyford to host a PC Ben session – this is where the children are read a story that tells them all about the day in the life of a police officer.  They also had an opportunity to have their fingerprints taken to make their own keyrings, and of course, and good play around in the police van.  Apologies to any neighbours for the noise.

🗣️  PC Simpson-Holland and PCSO Elson attended the Earley Neighbourhood Action Group meeting as an additional engagement opportunity to hear what matters to the local residents.  We were made to feel welcomed and took away lots information and ideas to work on.

🛒  A number of visits have been conducted across various retailers as we continue to roll out a simpler way to report retail theft.  This is proving successful and giving retailers the chance to communicate with each other directly about any known risks.

🕶️  PCSO’s Hobart and Elson, and PC’s Smith and Young attended a training session hosted by Wokingham Borough Council, to make ready the launch of a new VR capability coming to an event near you soon, showcasing partnership working between TVP and Wokingham Borough Council.  More details will soon follow, but we’re pretty excited about this one…so keep your eyes  👀  peeled.

And plenty more!
