Dear Friend
Avon and Somerset Police has commissioned an independent review of our recruitment process for Police Officers. We want the public to have a greater say in what makes a good police officer, to help us develop a more effective recruitment process to better reflect the community we serve and to make Avon and Somerset Police more welcoming to people with different backgrounds and skills sets.
Dr Marie-Annick Gournet, our independent consultant, and I, are hosting an event to bring together a number of people from our different communities to ask them to tell us what they want from their local police.
We’d like to hear your views on the behaviours, attitude and services you want from a Police Officer. We’d be delighted if you could join us on Tuesday 26th November from 17:30 to 19:00 to share your views.
The event will be held at:
Burges Salmon Offices,
One Glass Wharf,
Bristol, BS2 0ZX
Directions are enclosed.
Please could you contact Esther Wride by telephone on 01275 816087 or by email to to confirm your attendance.
Regards,
Nick Gargan
