Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, joined officers and South Ribble MP Paul Foster in Penwortham to see how they can work together to make the area safer.
Clive Grunshaw heard about a range of issues including anti-social behaviour, particularly the use of e-scooters.
Mr Grunshaw said: “It is clear that residents and their MP rightly want a strong police presence that encourages positive engagement with local officers, with them proactively addressing the issues that are being raised.
"We discussed how Op Centurion is tackling some of the specific problems around anti-social behaviour, whilst Op Vulture is seeing a more robust response to shoplifting.
“While there is always more to be done, it’s encouraging to hear about the proactive measures taken by the local inspector and neighbourhood team to address what matters most to people such as anti-social behaviour and shoplifting."
Mr Foster added: "I reiterated my desire to see a more visible police presence on the streets of South Ribble and Chorley Rural West.
"I look forward to working closely with Clive over the coming years to make the constituency a safer place for all.”
