Transcript

00:00Clive Gunshaw, Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire here today at Horton, the police

00:05headquarters here in Lancashire, having my regular catch-up meeting with the Chief Constable,

00:13finding out what the challenges are to policing within Lancashire and what we are doing now

00:20to ensure that the people of Lancashire are being kept safe. Later this morning,

00:26I'll be going out with members of the business community in Preston, having a look at the

00:32difficulties that they are facing. It's really important to have that engagement with people

00:38from the business community across Lancashire. I'm also taking the opportunity today to visit

00:45the Police Call Centre here at Police Headquarters. The people that are taking

00:51your calls if you've got any issues, any concerns, any crime, antisocial behaviour,

00:57to find out what the demand is and how we can quickly make sure that the police are deployed

01:04to where they need to be. It's really important to make sure the police are in the right place

01:11at the right time. And finally, what I would urge is that people participate in the consultation

01:20that is ongoing at the moment on the new Police and Crime Plan for Lancashire. It's open until

01:27the end of September, but the sooner you get back to me the better, because it's really important

01:33that I know what are the challenges that you face, what the concerns are, what you would like to see,

01:39and what is your police service. So the more people get involved with that, the better we

01:47can deliver on what are your priorities for policing in Lancashire. Thank you very much.
