Crime prevention in South Cumbria has received a boost after the area’s Community Safety Unit took delivery of a new vehicle, thanks to a local firm.
DSG Ltd delivered the Hyundai Kona to the Community Safety Unit – made up of police and partners – to help its officers get out into the community.
The firm has been providing vehicles for the unit for 10 years.
Chief Inspector Annette McClement said: “The car is an extremely useful resource and we are very fortunate and grateful to have a local company who wants to help reduce crime and the fear of crime.
“The car will give the team enhanced opportunities to get out into the community, particular isolated areas, and tackle the issues which are most important to people.”
Crime prevention officer Sharon Livesey-Roach added: “We really appreciate DSG’s continued commitment to helping us reduce crime in our communities and we are in our 10th year doing this. “This partnership working helps us get to those people that need support around safety and security.
“It raises awareness of the work we do and certainly supports me in my role as crime prevention officer.”
