Joe Robertson joined local officials and residents to celebrate the reopening of the front desk at Ryde Police Station, marking a significant step forward in strengthening police-community relations on the Isle of Wight. This reopening fulfills a commitment by Donna Jones, Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, to enhance public engagement and accessibility for residents.
The return of a staffed front desk at Ryde Police Station provides a crucial point of contact for the community, allowing residents to report incidents, seek assistance, and engage directly with local law enforcement in person. This initiative aims to improve public safety and build trust between the police and residents, making police services more approachable and responsive to local concerns.
“This is a big win for Ryde and the Isle of Wight,” said Joe Robertson. “The reopening of the police station’s front desk, thanks to Commissioner Donna Jones’s commitment, will provide residents with a vital resource and ensure a stronger, more connected relationship between the police and our community. It’s a welcome step towards increased safety, visibility, and community engagement.”
