Dear Residents of Bilston and East Park,

I’m PCSO Gavin Chandler and one of my Police Neighbourhood duties is to help support our Street-Watch groups.

For those who don’t know, haven’t heard of it, or not sure, I’ll help you.

Street-Watch is a community-led project. It’s made up of groups of volunteers who are at least 18 years old.

The groups go out and patrol their area. The patrols help to stop crime and anti-social behaviour. They also help people in the area get to know each other.

As a Street Watch member, you'll patrol your local area alongside one of your neighbours for at least two hours every month, at times which suit you.

You'll talk to people you meet and encourage them to take an active interest in keeping your area safe. So your neighbours know what you're there for, you wear a high-visibility Street Watch jacket.

You'll be supported by:

We currently have two groups in the area, Hawkswell Drive and Chiltern Drive. 

If you would like to join one of the groups or interested in starting your own group, please contact me, either through this system or through my work email address, gavin.chandler@westmidlands.police.uk

Kind regards PCSO 31005 Gavin Chandler, Bilston North& East, East Park Neighbourhood Police Team
