POLICE chiefs for Cheshire are inviting members of the public to tell them what they want from the constabulary at an event in Crewe next week.

Cheshire′s Chief Constable Simon Byrne and Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer will be at South Cheshire College on Thursday, October 23 between 6.30-8pm.

The ‘Working Together′ event will allow members of public to speak to neighbourhood officers to discuss localised crime and disorder issues, ideas and priorities, as well as receiving crime prevention advice and information before joining with stakeholders from the local area to hear the strategic vision from Mr Byrne and Mr Dwyer.

Mr Byrne said: "The Constabulary has conducted events like these in the past, but not on this scale. You can have your input like never before - not only can you ask live questions, both in person or online, but you can directly influence policing priorities in your area.

"We want to hear from you to tell us what you want from your police force, and these events provide a terrific opportunity for you to do that."

Mr Dwyer added: "I am dedicated to bringing the communities of Cheshire and the police closer together. These consultation events will allow the public to ask questions of me and of the Chief Constable and influence the policing priorities in their area.

"I′d encourage everyone to take part in these very innovative, informative and impactive events."

In a first for Cheshire Constabulary, the meeting will be webcast live, providing people the opportunity to listen, observe, and pose questions over the internet to be answered on stage.
