Gloucestershire Police has appointed six new Youth Engagement Officers as part of a county-wide initiative to strengthen relationships between young people and the police.
The officers, who have recently begun their roles, will work directly with schools, youth groups and local communities to build trust, improve understanding, and encourage positive dialogue between young people and policing teams across Gloucestershire.
BBC Radio Gloucestershire reporter Duncan Cook recently joined the new Youth Engagement Officers on a visit to Tewkesbury Academy, where they met with students to talk about their role, listen to young people’s experiences, and discuss how police and communities can work together more effectively.
