It was a quiet night in Llandudno with the sleet and rain being the usual great support for the police service.

However, there were several interesting issues that were dealt with by the officers who were kind enough to allow me to accompany them for the evening.

What particularly impressed me however was the great rapport that the officers had with the young people of Llandudno. Firm but friendly the officers treated all youngsters with respect and care and were rewarded with a response that was polite and a credit to the relationship developed by the new Community Policing arrangements.

I departed for home cold (it was -1c) but feeling very positive about the way in which proactive and community based policing can make a real difference. My thanks go to all the officers at Llandudno and also the youngsters we met who were all polite and well behaved.
