Forest police up engagement with rural communities

OFFICERS in the Forest were the first to test out a new support vehicle for rural communities as part of action to make police more “visible on the streets” of Gloucestershire.

The constabulary’s new Street Engagement Vehicle (SEV) is the latest way in which PCSOs are sharing crime prevention advice with communities in more remote, rural areas of the county.

Each policing area will have access to the SEV for a two-month period to visit towns and villages across their patch.
