The Newton Aycliffe Neighbourhood Police Team is often changing, with officers being moved to different locations.
Our NPT is active in its work in the community and is also proactive when it comes to talking to residents and being active in the media.
Sergeant Mark Edwards (above, left), who writes a regular blog on Aycliffe Today, is giving our readers an up-to-date lowdown on his troops.
Today, we focus on PC Mike Welch…
Sgt Edwards says…
“The newest Police Constable on the team, Mike was one of the first Police Community Support Officers appointed and was based on the NPT at Newton Aycliffe for several years where he built up good relationships with the community he served (Greenfields and Middridge).
“His desire to become a Police Constable came to fruition when he was successfully appointed to the role in February 2013 and was placed back on the NPT.
“Mike looks after West Ward alongside Greenfields and Middridge and is embracing the opportunities his job allows him.”
We’ll bring you more on your local bobbies over the next few days…
