NEIGHBOURHOOD police officers will be able to spend more time on the beat after securing a new base in Mellor Brook.
PC Jo Dolan and PCSO Mick Turner will now work out of Mellor Brook Community Centre, based on Whalley Road in the Ribble Valley.
The two officers, who cover Mellor, Osbaldeston and Balderstone, will spend the majority of their time on patrol in the community.
They will use the office as a base, allowing them to reduce the amount of time they spend travelling between the town and Whalley Police Station.
Response officers will also use the office to save time, leading to more officers out on the streets.
PC Dolan said: “The community centre is a modern building at the heart of the community which is accessible for residents.
“People can call into the office to see us if they have any problems or want to report a crime.
“And the new base will allow us to become more involved within the community as well as spending more of our time out on the beat.”
