John's back on familiar turf
3:02pm Sunday 24th February 2008
A POLICE officer who started his career in Todmorden in 1980 is returning to the town as head of the neighbourhood policing team.
PC John Spence is taking over from PC Martin Langan, who has been moved to Hebden Bridge.
PC Spence will be working with the two new community officers.
PC Spence said he was looking forward to attending the town's ward meetings. He said: "In Todmorden, like many other places, there has been a problem because of kids drinking in the town.
"This has led to nuisance drinking and one of my aims is to stamp this out."
An officer for 27 years, he has been based at Halifax since the early 1990s after a spell at Ovenden. But he is back in more familiar surroundigs and says he is looking forward to rhe challenges ahead.
