RESIDENTS are encouraged to submit questions for an upcoming live webchat with the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Police.

Chief Constable Andy Marsh will be answering questions live on Facebook on Monday, March 13 at 12.30pm, in the fourth edition of a series of webchats.

It will be an opportunity for residents to ask policing questions on the topics of burglary, drugs and anti-social behaviour.

Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: “I welcome your challenging and insightful questions and the opportunity to answer the policing queries and concerns you put to me.

“It’s vital that I hear your concerns and make sure these are addressed.” 

Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Sue Mountstevens will be asking the questions, and said: “I hope residents will once again have lots of questions to submit linked to the themes we’ve selected for our next webchat. 

“We’re also trialling different times of the day, to ensure we’re accessible to people when it’s convenient for them.” 

In the last webchat, residents raised points about the use of tasers and body worn cameras.

The Chief Constable said that he hoped his answers showed how the equipment is used fairly and appropriately.

Submit questions for the upcoming webchat by emailing them to pcc@avonandsomerset.pnn.police.uk, calling 01275 816377 or sending them on Twitter using the hashtag #PCCinconvo.
