agencies, such as local schools, parish
councils and housing associations.
Over the years we have built up the
Homewatch groups in the area and we
now have the most groups in Warrington
east. Pubwatch was started in 2005 and
has been very successful in reducing
alcohol related crime in the villages with
all the local pubs working together with
this aim. Croft has had a speed watch
group since 2005 and helped to reduce
speeding in the village.
There is no such thing as a typical
day in the life of a PCSO - every day is
different; from a scene guard, following
a crime to door to door enquiries, to
giving talks to children at schools. Even
calling the Bingo numbers at the local
Age Concern Centre! However a normal
day would start with a team briefing
where the sergeant will allocate tasks to
be done, I will check what tasks I have
in my workload and speak to my beat
manager if he has any jobs he wishes me
to do. I then head off to Culcheth where I
either carry out foot or cycle patrol which
means I can stop and speak to members
of the public, whether it be just a chat or
to give advice. I try to be outside a school
at start or finishing time so the children
and parents can speak to me, also to deter
parents from parking on yellow lines,
zig-zags and obstructing driveways and
pavements. I work closely with the seven
schools in our area to try and prevent
this. I call on residents who have been a
victim of crime to see what help or advice
I can offer, sometimes just a chat over a
cup of tea really helps.
I have been very lucky to work with a
great team of officers over the years that
have covered our area. I am sure you
all know or have seen PCSO Maurizio
Lucchesi who has now been in the village
for 6 years.

In my spare time I like to go walking with
my dogs, cycling and gardening. My wife
and I love to go out with our friends and
enjoy socialising in the local area. We live
locally and try to shop and eat locally to
support our local community.
