The afternoon saw offices patrolling Ashwell, Therfield, Sandon, Reed and Newnham, with the aim to deter hare coursing and to carry out engagement with the farming community.

Sergeant Ryan Champion of North Herts NPT said: “We have more of these days planned and are completing at least one a month tackling different issues and priorities on officers’ wards.”

“Our priorities are decided at forums made up of police and local councillors,” continued Sergeant Champion.

“We send out Herts Connected surveys to local residents asking for their concerns and what they see as a priority for us to tackle.”
