A NEW dial-a-bobby scheme has been launched allowing residents in West Auckland to leave messages for their local beat officers.
Villagers can leave information or comments for PC Ian Nelson and PC Andy Hucker, who patrol the streets of West Auckland, on the recorded service. But PC Nelson, speaking at a meeting of West Auckland Parish Council, said that incidents should still be reported in the usual way.
He said: "As we are not on duty every day, it's not always possible to contact us, but you can leave a message.
"It's not a means for reporting an incident. Incidents would still need to be reported with the normal procedure, but if you want to leave a bit of information, this is the means to do that."
Contact PC Nelson on 0845 6060365, ext 6232058, and PC Hucker on ext 6231710.
