With the departure of Andy Swanson the PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) for the parishes of Borough Green and Wrotham and the appointment of his successor Mark Thomas we have taken the opportunity to make a few changes.
Mark will have responsibility for Borough Green as did his predecessor but will lose Wrotham. He will instead have a responsibility for Ightham, Platt, Plaxtol and Shipbourne, parishes which previously had no PCSO assigned to them.
This is good news for Plaxtol as it means you now have a Police officer and a PCSO.

What is a PCSO - they are members of the support staff employed, directed and managed by Kent Police. They work to complement and support regular police officers, providing a visible and accessible uniformed presence to improve the quality of life in the community and offer greater public reassurance - you can see I've just read the manual.

Once Mark has finished his training he will be out and about with me and I will be introducing him to you.
