Dear Paul
I am the PCSO Supervisor for Dover neighbourhood Unit at Dover Police Station. I am aware that there is a large number of Dover residents from various communities across Dover who contribute and monitor your Dover Forum.
I would like to ask if you could possibly post to your Forum the Dover Neighbourhood Policing Twitter address http://www.twitter.com/kentpoliceuk in order that the community can follow the Dover Neighbourhood Team on Twitter for the latest updates on how Kent Police and councils are dealing with anti-social behaviour and crime in your area. It also has surgery and event dates posted from time to time for residents to visit us to discuss local issues.
Anyone who has any specific neighbourhood policing issues that they wish to discuss with their local PCSO to email ....
dover.neighbourhood@kent.pnn.police.uk
or call their local neighbourhood PCSO direct which can be found at our website http://www.kent.police.uk/ or call our unit on ...
01304 218110 this number is NOT for reporting crime or live incidents
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or problems

- 26 November 2009 08:5233918oh Dear...which page Bern??
Ah I see..Ive double checked and I havent left anything out so will check back with Lyndsey Read.
Links fixed above now.email: dover7@msn.com - 26 November 2009 10:3033924lyndsey is very much a hands on police officer, everyone knew her in the short time she was pcso in my area.
excellent news that she is reaching out via the forum. - 27 November 2009 23:0934011It will now be useful for Lyndsey to air the views from the PCSO background
- 28 November 2009 09:2334028Have added a link on our Links Page now for the local PCSO team...as you can see from the info above they can be followed on Twitter.See Links page.
Lyndsey is not an actual member Keef, I did ask, but hopefully will keep us informed on updates and so on which will always be useful. If people know more about what they do then thats got to be good for them and for everyone.email: dover7@msn.com - 28 November 2009 23:0434048i see on teletext that a local pcso nabbed a dozen or more under 18's at crabble sports ground imbibing the devils brew.
would they have been caught by a passing patrol car?
doubt it, the youths all had letters sent to their parents, seems about right to me, most of us have done it.
they have all been warned that their future behaviour will be monitored. - 29 November 2009 10:1234057Good on that PCSO - but a foot patrol of any sort would have done it. I am not against PCSOs, clearly, but I think a conversation should be had about how the budgets are used given we need more coppers on the beat.................
- 29 November 2009 11:4434064i think that the days of foot patrols from the fully qualified officers are over, that role can be filled adequately by the pcso's.
a uniform still has a deterrent effect. - 29 November 2009 16:0134081Not even a full PC uniform has that effect any more, Howard. Sad.
