You said - we did in Halstead

Concerns raised at Halstead public meeting results in Special Constable operation A team of Special Constables carried out an operation targeting anti-social behaviour following concerns raised at a meeting hosted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex in Halstead. Acting on information received at a local public meeting, organised by Roger Hirst, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, a team of Special Constables carried out some patrols to disrupt the anti-social behaviour going on in the town’s parks. At the event, attended by around 100 residents, Mr Hirst outlined some of the issues he was speaking to the Government about in terms of trying to increase funding for Essex Police in the future as well as highlighting some of the areas that had already improved, including the roll out of mobile technology devices that enabled officers to spend more time out on the streets as well as increasing the number of Police Officers, Special Constables, Active Citizens and Volunteer Police Cadets.
