TALK TO US – that’s the message from <strong>Darlington</strong> neighbourhood inspector Chris<br />
Knox. The neighbourhood policing team is keen to hear from residents across the<br />
borough about what’s concerning you and what you feel is important for the police to<br />
tackle where you live.<br />
Chris said: “We obviously take calls every day from people across <strong>Darlington</strong> who are reporting<br />
specific crimes or incidents and we respond to those, but what we are after is a more ongoing,<br />
general conversation with people. I want people to talk to my officers when they are out and<br />
about and share their concerns or niggles about what’s going on in their area. This will help us<br />
to understand our communities<br />
which means we can deliver the best<br />
possible policing service to the people<br />
of <strong>Darlington</strong>.<br />
“All of my teams have recently<br />
been brushing up their skills at our<br />
confidence academy. This is a training<br />
event to give officers new ideas about<br />
getting the most from interactions with<br />
communities and developing their own<br />
skills to help them make the most of<br />
every opportunity when they are out<br />
and about talking to people.<br />
“I have four sergeants in my team,<br />
each has a responsibility for a different<br />
part of the borough. Please talk to<br />
them and their teams and, if you’re<br />
interested, sign up for your local<br />
electronic newsletter by dropping your<br />
local sergeant an email.”<br />
Please don’t use email to report<br />
crime. In an emergency, dial 999.<br />
