I am writing to introduce myself; I am Mark HANCOCK your local Community Officer. As part of my role, I have the responsibility to cover Wootton, Bromham, Biddenham, Clapham, Great Denham, Kempston Rural, Oakley, Pavenham, Stagsden, Stevington and Turvey in relation to community concerns. I have previously been a response officer in Bedfordshire police and have also worked in Bedfordshire police Domestic unit “EMERALD”, meaning I have had experience in working with vulnerable people in difficult situations. I’ve always liked to talk to people, and I enjoy looking after the community and making people feel safe. I feel that my previous job roles, as well as my life experience has provided me with skills that I can use in my role in the community within Bedfordshire police.
I am patrolling the area on a regular basis, and I would love to see more of you out and about within your areas and at future events. I am very approachable, so if you see me around, please come and talk to me, as I’m always keen to hear what’s been going on. One way to inform us about the issues arising in your area, is to complete ‘Have your say surveys’ at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BedsPoliceHaveYourSay or the QR code below, which decides the priorities throughout the year. Currently, our community priority is combating speeding, however, depending on data, this is subject to change.
You may see us walking about on patrol or see our social media posts about how to keep yourselves safe, but we still need your help. If you see anything that looks suspicious, please report it, by calling 101 or use the online reporting tool at: https://www.bedfordshire.police.uk/report. It’s very important that you tell me what’s going on, so that we can make a difference within your community.
