Avon and Somerset Police have a dedicated team of officers serving the town of Bradley Stoke, headed by Neighbourhood Beat Manager PC Nathan Reed, assisted by PC Claire Fletcher (part-time).

There are currently two Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) in the team: Adam Ali and Oliver Kirk.

The force opened a local ‘beat post’ at the Willow Brook Centre in January 2011. Residents wishing to speak to a police officer in person at the beat post can make an appointment by calling 101.

‘Drop in’ sessions, when no appointment is necessary, are held several times a month at the Willow Brook Centre (check the What’s On guide for upcoming dates and times).

For further details of local policing, check out the Bradley Stoke Beat page on the Avon and Somerset Police website.

The Bradley Stoke beat area consists of the South Gloucestershire Council wards of Bradley Stoke North, Bradley Stoke South and Stoke Lodge & The Common. A boundary map is available on the above webpage.

N.B. Some areas in the south of the parish (town) of Bradley Stoke lie within the Stoke Gifford ward, so come within the Stoke Gifford police beat area.

The Policing Pledge

Information from GOV.UK:

There is now a Policing Pledge. It’s a new set of promises from the police on the service they should provide and every force has committed to keeping those promises.

The police promise to listen to your concerns, act on these concerns, and then keep you informed of the progress they’ve made. Each neighbourhood will have locally agreed priorities, as agreed by the community.

You can see the full Policing Pledge by following the link below.
