Surgeries

Published
Last updated

North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Andy Dunbobbin and North Wales Police will hold monthly advice surgery for residents as part of his mission to bring policing closer to the people of the region. The initiative enables local people to discuss policing in their communities and to raise any concerns or comments they might have with the Commissioner and local police officers.

A monthly meeting will be held in towns and villages across the North Wales area, both large and small, rural and urban, and right across the six counties.

Next surgery meeting:

Holyhead

July 24 | 2-4pm

Holyhead Library, Market Hall, Stanley St, Holyhead LL65 1HH

Details of future surgery meetings will be published in due course.

The commissioner is happy to talk through matters that affect residents in their local community. Attendees will have 15 minutes to speak with the Commissioner, who will be accompanied by representatives from his office and from North Wales Police, to provide the maximum possible assistance to the public. The conversations will remain confidential, and the Commissioner and his staff will be able to provide further signposting if an issue can be more appropriately dealt with by other agencies and organisations.

How it works

PCC Surgeries will be held on a monthly basis at a variety of accessible venues across North Wales.

The PCC will be accompanied by staff from his team and North Wales Police who will help to facilitate the meetings and take notes if needed.

Surgeries are by appointment only to ensure that the issues being raised relate to policing, crime or community safety, and to ensure the PCC is fully briefed on the issue prior to the meeting.

While the Commissioner is unable to intervene in operational matters, he welcomes residents’ feedback on how North Wales is policed.

The PCC will not be able to consider complaints about police officers, member of police staff, police community support officers or special constables as this has to go through the existing and established channels. Further advice on the complaints system is on the OPCC website here.
