Crime: 5 August 2011

A really good week.

I am sorry Messages have been a bit thin on the ground, but the police have had a drive to recruit new members and I have about 2 / 300 here, to enter onto the system !

I want to thank Jenny, my wonderful volunteer who has quietly and very efficiently, been entering everyone onto the system on a daily basis, for the past few years. Our grateful thanks. Fortunately, I have some new volunteers to assist me – Kasia has kindly stepped forward and offered her services.

The police have been undertaking a huge campaign to recruit new members and there are about 2 / 300 new ones on my desk and we are working through them !

If you are a new member – welcome aboard. If you need any help, assistance or advice, please let me know on Jeffrey.pick@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk
