It would be great if as many people as possible could make a point of seeing and welcoming them to the community and of course to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have.
Over the next weeks the blog will welcome them individually with photographs contact details and profiles.
Please don’t forget about the Hampshire Alert system, a warning system which alerts you to crime in your area as well as missing person alerts, suspicious activity and more. You can sign up on http://www.hampshirealert.co.uk or scroll down to the article on the 4th May entitled ‘Police Hampshire Alert System’ to read more about it.

Hi Guy
I’ll try to get along to one if the meetings. Looking forward to meeting Rob Earl again. He worked with us on the Business Network and is overseeing my application to be a neighbourhood watch rep.

Does this police team cover Lovedean? If not what is happening their?
The team will cover all of the Parish of Horndean, so the part of Lovedean that is in East Hants will be covered by this team. They work closely with the team from Waterlooville so the change between the two parts of Lovedean should be like one beat officer to another. Dont forget this is only the ‘Neighbourhood team’ who deal with local issues. The response team (the fast response area car) does not see this district boundary and throughout Hampshire the closest car will respond to an event. Why not go to one of the surgeries and ask for more information on how they will manage issues in Lovedean?
Jean – hope to see you at one of the events! Rob has been a good local resource for the community and it is very good to see him back!
best wishes,
guy.
