Residents in Redland and Cotham are being offered a range of opportunities to meet with their local police officers in the run up to Christmas - and get some free security resources in the process.

Local Community Support Officer Mateusz Borkowski of the Redland Beat is holding a number of surgeries for members of the public to get help and advice on any local policing issues. These surgeries will run at the Somerfield petrol station on Gloucester Road on November 25th and on the 9th and 23rd of December, all between 5.00 and 8.00 pm. Daytime surgeries, meanwhile, will take place at St Andrew's Park on three Wednesdays in December - the 2nd, 16th and 30th - from 12.00 noon till 4.00 pm.

In addition, the next PACT meeting (Partners and Communities Together) will take place on Thursday November 26th at Redland Green School from 6.30 - 7.30 pm. All members of the public are welcome to attend and the focus will be on policing issues within the Redland ward.

Finally, the Redland Neighbourhood Policing Team is running a free cycle tagging event on Thursday 17th December in order to tackle cycle theft in the run up to Christmas. The tags are linked to the immobilise.com website and will make it easier for the police to identify lost or stolen bikes.

The free tagging events are taking place throughout the day at three separate locations: Horfield Common from 10.00 am - 12.00 noon, Somerfield petrol station on Gloucester Road from 1.00 to 3.00 and, finally, Clifton Down Shopping Centre from 4.00 -6.00 pm.
