People will be able to raise any policing concerns at an event in Lichfield city centre next week.
PCSO Andy Lovatt will be at Lichfield Library for the drop-in session on 25th May.
The event will run from 2pm to 3.30pm.

First concern is why is this session being led by a PCSO and not a senior Police officer?
Second concern is this is taking place on a weekday at a time when most people are likely to be working or doing the school run. Is this intentional to keep numbers of attendees down?
I think that says it all in terms of Staffs Police’s approach to Lichfield. Light touch and little presence. Meanwhile all types of crimes levels are increasing.
This is nothing more than a lip service session.
This offer is a start – better than nothing – what happens if he gets a “shout” will someone else be there to take minutes or will it be re-arranged?
What do you expect from the police ? Do you really think the actual police would lower themselves down to meeting the public? If there’s any risk of injury or being spoken to in a raised voice then they couldn’t possibly turn up. It’s a joke they are not interested in serving the public? We have a
Police station which resembles an army barracks in Basra with no public access and a phone line which calls Stafford ? Nothing like the days where the station was open and the police walked in and out and actually met the public……how times change sadly not for the better.
