Ride Along Scheme - Whitchurch.

Today, PC 21376 Bates and Shropshire Councillor Gregory Ebbs undertook patrols in the Whitchurch area as part of our Ride Along scheme. It was great to show Greg a small snippet of what we do everyday on our Safer Neighbourhood Team. With the current bad weather, most of what we were dispatched to involved keeping our roads safe, which resulted in a vehicle being seized for having no tax, MOT or insurance!

If you have ever wondered what it's really like to work in your community, tackling local issues and keeping people safe day to day, now's your chance to find out!
We've relaunched our Ride Along scheme across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire, giving you the opportunity to join a neighbourhood officer on shift and see what policing is like in your area.
During your Ride Along, you'll:
🔎 Experience what a typical shift looks like for a neighbourhood officer
💬 Chat with officers about local policing and community priorities
🤝 See first-hand how neighbourhood teams work to resolve issues or concerns in your local area

The Ride Along scheme is open to anyone aged 18 or over, and you must live in Herefordshire, Shropshire or Worcestershire.
Whether you are considering a career in policing, would like to know how your local area is being policed, or simply have an interest in policing, you are invited on shift.
