May I introduce myself. my name is Peter New and I am a Police Volunteer and I cover Pluckley with Community Neighbourhood Watch.
My background is the Fire Service and when I retired, I was Assistant Chief Officer Head of Operations for the County of Kent. I bring many of those skills into the Police NHW work especially with Crime Prevention and Community Safety. Neighbourhood Watch will try to keep you, crime free and as important free from the fear of being a victim of crime also. It is free to join NHW all you need to do is read and stay safe and secure on the advice given.
To join Pluckley NHW just email me as above.
Thank you. Stay safe, secure, alert and vigilant.
