OK so I'm new to blogging and I wait to see whether I say anything which anyone wants to read. I am the Police Commander in Southampton and I want to use a blog as a way of communicating more widely and informally to people. Which people? Well I don't mind really but mainly it's the people in Southampton whose council taxes pay my salary and the salary of all my officers and staff who serve the people of the City. I'd be just as pleased if this was of interest to the many thousands of people who use the City for work, education, entertainment shopping etc.
I'm happy to talk about my own role and work and I will talk about current policing operations or other crime and community safety issues. Anything which is of interest. I will try and explain what we do and why and hopefully this may give people more confidence in their local Police service. Let's just see where this takes us.........
So as a start has anyone been in the city centre on weekend nights recently and come across the police horses and mounted officers? We are trying them out as a new tactic to help control some of the worse drunken behaviour. They'll be out again over the next couple of weekends. If you saw them what did you think about them? Were they a welcome sight? Did they reassure or intimidate? Let me know what you thought or anything else about the city centre at night.
