YOUTH workers and school students will be among the Milford Haven people visited by Police and Crime Commissioner Christopher Salmon on September 19.

His visit will also see him meet local groups and individuals during a fully-booked three-hour surgery.

Mr Salmon said he hoped the day would help him gain a greater understanding of the crime and policing needs of local people.

“It will be a people-focused day; I’m confident that local people will wish to air their views.

“As their voice in crime and policing I need to understand their thoughts,” he said.

Those due to meet Mr Salmon include students at Milford Haven School and members of the town council.

He will also drop in at Milford Youth Matters, a charity aimed at helping people aged between 16 and 25 learn new skills and find work, and will visit Pembroke Dock business Videomajic.

The Commissioner oversees an annual Dyfed-Powys policing fund of around £100m. As the elected voice of the public, his job is to make the police answerable to the communities they serve.

He works in partnership across a range of agencies to ensure a unified approach to preventing and reducing crime.

In his first 22 months in office, his key achievements have included more police officers, improved access to the police, reduced policing costs and the launch of the Commissioner's Fund for community initiatives.

Mr Salmon has arranged 12 ‘Your Voice’ visits through 2014 – three in each Dyfed-Powys county of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.
