How to contact the Police

Your District/ County Councillor speaks to the Police on a regular basis. He report instances reported to him as they occur and supports residents who have specific issues to contact both the Police and Stratford District Council Anti-Social Behavior Team.

The Police have reminded him that residents need to report any policing issues directly to them as a direct report from a resident is logged onto their database and builds evidence for resource to be applied to issues.

Social Media conversations do not contribute to this important data base.
