“Please could I encourage you to report incidents should you be witness to them, as this will help us maintain awareness of the current issues.

“If we are unaware of incidents taking place, it makes it somewhat more difficult to be able to provide a response and deal with the current issues.

“Can we also take this time to make you aware a new scheme called North Wales Community Alerts - this is a new scheme which is designed to allow us to send out messages to our local communities with information specific to them.

“The messages could relate to incidents going on in the local area, crime prevention, good news stories of work done locally and also appeal for information.

“If you are not already part of this scheme, please follow the link provided below (www.northwalescommunityalert.co.uk), which will take you directly to the North Wales Community Alert website, where you can sign up and read further information in relation to this highly effective scheme.

“Another part of this scheme is a tri-monthly survey called ‘North Wales Talking’.

“This survey gives local residents the ability to say what their local issues are and this information will be reviewed by local policing teams.

“The idea of this survey is that it allows us to see what local residents see as their main issues in the community.

“We will pick the top three to focus our attention on and provide and update in due course.”
