Introduction of Inspector Peter Oram, West Yorkshire Police
The West Inner Area Committee will be introduced to Sergeant Peter Oram.
Minutes:
Inspector Peter Oram introduced himself to the West Inner Area Committee. He informed the Area Committee that there were now two Inspectors in the Neighbourhood Policing Team, Inspector Granville Ward for the West Outer area and himself for the West Inner area.
Inspector Oram informed the meeting that the Police Authority would like to relocate the Neighbourhood Policing Teams from Pudsey Police Station and have them based in Bramley and Armley but this was unlikely to happen due to financial constraints. As far as the location of the PCSO’s were concerned it would be ideal for them to be based locally instead of having to report to Pudsey Police Station before commencing their duties on the Bramley and Armley patches.
In conclusion Members agreed that ideally suitable premises needed to be found locally and a suggestion was made to look into the possibility of the Bramley based Police Officers and PCSO’s being based in premises above the Bramley Shopping Centre. Steve Crocker, West Area Manager agreed to investigate.
