Today I spent some time with our City Protection Officers<\/a> to discuss their role and the success that\\’s been seen since they we\\’re introduced in 2017.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The CPOs working under the Gloucester City Safe badge<\/a> act as a security blanket for the city, providing a highly-visible uniformed presence that are contributing\u00a0 to improving community safety for businesses, their staff, customers, residents, and visitors to the city.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Working in partnership<\/h3>\n
\n
The City Protection Officers are funded through a partnership between my office, Gloucester City Council and local businesses (BID). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The CPOs are proving so popular and successful we are looking at how the model can be extended across the county to other areas. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My promise<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
If re-elected next month for a third term i remained committed to funding the Gloucester CPOs as well as working with other councils to see if this model can be replicated elsewhere.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Praise from across the political divide<\/h3>\n
\n
The initiative has even won praise of government ministers.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
