EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The SRNWA executive committee will next meet at Leyland police station on 22nd March.
-----------------------------------------------------
AGM 2009
This took place in the Ellis Conference Centre at Lancashire
Constabulary HQ on Thursday 24th September. There were a number of
display stands from relevant organisations / agencies for attendees to
visit before the start of the meeting proper. There was also a raffle in
aid of SRNWA and North West Air Ambulance.
The meeting itself started at 7.30pm and was opened by the Mayor,
Councillor Don Parkinson. Beverley Warburton explained that four members
had asked to join the Executive Committee and, as the total of new and
existing members is less than the 21 permitted under the constitution,
there was therefore no need for an election. The new members are: Jean
Damp, Fiona Riley, Kim Stammers and Christopher Woods.
Peter Tickle explained that as the Treasurer (Anne Baker) was unwell he
would therefore present the accounts on her behalf. He explained that
the SRNWA is in a strong financial position and he referred to copies of
the accounts that had been made available to all attendees. Each entry
on the accounts was briefly explained. The balance in the account at the
time of the AGM is £5858.37 but £5,500 of this is already earmarked for
spending on two projects. There were no questions from the attendees.
The Chair of SRNWA, Ann Bretherton, then made a brief speech.
Chief Superintendent Stuart Williams (Divisional Police Commander) gave
a presentation about policing and partnership issues. This was followed
by PC Steve Dawson from the Dog Training Centre, who gave a presentation
in relation to the training and use of police dogs. He was assisted by
two of his colleagues and their police dogs.
Finally, Linda Tune from the Probation Service gave a presentation on
“Community Payback”.
Beverley informed everyone that the raffle raised £105, before Keith
Warren MBE gave the closing speech.

2008 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The South Ribble Neighbourhood Watch Association AGM was officially opened by the Mayor of South Ribble, Mr Barrie Yates.
The meeting took place to bring together people who play very important roles in keeping our communities safe and in preventing crime. Approximately 120 people attended, the majority of these being Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators from the South Ribble area who
act as the ‘link’ person between the Police and their community.
Representatives from Crimestoppers, Lancashire Constabulary, South Ribble Borough Council, Lancashire Fire & Rescue, Age Concern and Anchor Staying Put also attended with displays and information about crime prevention and safety in the community.
Beverley Warburton, Crime Prevention Officer said, “There are currently 210 Neighbourhood Watch Schemes in the South Ribble area which cover approximately 9,000 households. We are aiming to increase this number all the time and by doing so help people to feel
safer in their communities. The Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators are all volunteers who play an extremely valuable role in our community by linking in with the Police.”
Neighbourhood Watch schemes can only succeed with the commitment and focus of Neighbourhood Watch volunteers. For further information about volunteering or to join your local neighbourhood watch scheme, contact your crime prevention officer on 01772 625593, or via

Police And Communities Together
These meetings provide the public with the
opportunity to meet regularly with their local Community Beat Manager
(CBM) to discuss policing issues affecting the areas where they live. PACT
is a way of engaging communities and provides them with clear information
about how they can get in touch with their local CBM or PCSO, and provides
a way in which these officers can be tasked by the communities they serve.
PACT will ensure that during the first week of every month there will be a
public meeting in the CBM’s/PCSO’s area. This will not prevent officers
holding more meetings but represents a minimum standard and the knowledge
that during one particular week of the month all CBM’s and PCSO’s will be
available to their communities right across the County.
Once the PACT meeting has taken place, which any member of the public can
attend to talk to their local CBM/PCSO on various policing issues that may
be affecting them, the PACT panel will meet to decide those tasks that the
local officer will concentrate on in the forthcoming month.
